| Summary: |
This book/CD-ROM package provides an overview of the present state of knowledge in paleoflood hydrology and offers new perspectives on its applicability to related subjects. Emphasis is on recent, significant improvements in the methodological and conceptual basis for paleoflood studies, quantitative and statistical tests of assumptions underlying paleoflood research, and recent applications in areas including remote sensing technology. The CD-ROM contains digital images, color figures, and data tables. Material originated at the September 1999 Second International Paleoflood Conference, hel |
