Offered By: Seds Online via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of sedimentary records and their implications for river futures in this 49-minute video lecture. Delve into the use of river sedimentary facies as proxies for precipitation intensity and intermittency, offering a more realistic representation of past and future precipitation changes. Learn how ancient climate conditions are inferred from proxy data, contrasting with widely used geochemical and biological proxies that focus on mean annual temperature and precipitation. Discover how this approach provides valuable insights into Earth's climate history and helps predict the future behavior of river systems.
