- Abstract:
- This study is aimed at evaluating the sensitivity of the New England landscape to disturbances and understanding how that sensitivity changes in response to changing climate and land surface characteristics. To accomplish this goal we will quantify spatial and temporal variations in sediment yields across New England from the early/mid Holocene through the present day by developing continuous records of sediment accumulation and event deposition (i.e. deposition initiated b floods, landslides, forest fires, or land clearance) in a regional network of lakes...
