This data release contains the results from a comprehensive field study that applied paleoflood hydrology methods to estimate the frequency of low-probability floods for the Tennessee River near Chattanooga, Tennessee. The study combined stratigraphic records of large, previously unrecorded floods with modern systematic flood records and historical flood accounts.
