Paleoflood Hydrology: Discovering the Future in the PastVic Baker, The University of Arizona
PFH Data are NOT Equivalent to Paleoclimate Data • PFH Data are NOT “Proxy” Data • PFH Data Reliability is NOT Inversely Proportional to Flood Magnitude
PFH Data Concern Floods, NOT Climate • PFH Data are Indices of REAL Floods • The Most Intense Floods Provide the Most Reliable PFH Data
