Natural Drought and Flood Histories from Lacustrine Archives Project
Heavy rainfall, flooding, and drought frequently devastate North American populations and are predicted to continue posing serious threats over the next century. The nature of these phenomena at centennial and millennial timescales is not well constrained. Clarifying the spatial patterns of drought and moisture trends is fundamental for comparison with other datasets for the purposes of...
