Slackwater Deposits, 7 Nov 1985
Cheat River Slackwater Deposits at Tributary Mouth
Where to Look?
Exceptionally Large Floods Rise Far Above Potential Slackwater Deposition Surfaces, Leaving High-Water Marks in the Colluvial System
Fluvial Landforms in Eastern North America Are Adjusted to Moderate Frequency Floods
Long-Term Flood Frequency Influences Slackwater Sedimentology and PSI Accuracy
Slackwater Deposits Have Potential to Record Paleoflood Chronologies in Eastern Canyons
