Constraining the Intermittency of Flow and Sediment Transport in the Geological Past

Explore the challenges and potential solutions for quantifying ancient river dynamics in this 59-minute lecture. Delve into the critical gap between instantaneous and mean flow conditions, which reflects the intermittency of flow and sediment transport. Discover how constraining intermittency can lead to more accurate reconstructions of hydrograph shapes and hydroclimate in the geological past. Gain insights into the current limitations of quantitative reconstructions and learn about emerging approaches to bridge the timescale gap in paleoenvironmental studies.
