Paleofloods
Paleofloods are past or ancient floods that are indicated by means of natural recording processes. The scientific discipline of paleoflood hydrology combines geological and hydrological approaches. Slackwater deposit–paleostage indicator (SWD–PSI) paleoflood hydrology employs recent technological advances in geochronology and hydraulic flow modeling to reconstruct the magnitudes and frequencies of paleofloods from evidence of their paleostages. T…

High-Resolution Holocene Environmental Changes in the Thar Desert, Northwestern India
Sediments from Lunkaransar dry lake in northwestern India reveal regional water table and lake level fluctuations over decades to centuries during the Holocene that are attributed to changes in the southwestern Indian monsoon rains. The lake levels were very shallow and fluctuated often in the early Holocene and then rose abruptly around 6300 carbon-14 years before the present ( 14 C yr B.P.). The lake completely desiccated around 4800 14 C yr B.…

Paleohydraulic Interpretation of Quaternary Alluvium Near Golden, Colorado
Quaternary terraces and pediments along Ralston Creek and Clear Creek, near Golden, Colorado, are associated with Verdos, Slocum, Louviers, and Broadway Alluviums. Terrace deposits can be locally correlated on the basis of elevation and relict paleosols. The terrace sediments probably represent aggradation by braided streams flowing from glaciated drainage basins. Engineering hydraulic calculation procedures suggest that flood flows were 2–3 m de…
