An 800-year paleoflood record from the Sacramento Valley, California [abstract]
EXTRACT (SEE PDF FOR FULL ABSTRACT):Four cores recovered from Little Packer Lake in Glenn County, California, have provided a paleoflood record for the past 800 years. ... The sequence of flood deposits in the top 2 meters of the record shows a reasonable agreement with the known history of floods during the past 150 years. At least three major flood events are indicated for AD 1400-1525, although these dates may have to be revised when more dates become available.
