Subsurface Paleo-Stream Reach Reconstruction and Classification Using Seismic Data Interpretation
… of flow in the paleo-stream reaches to that in modern rivers in Texas and Mississippi. However, classification and discharge results were accompanied with a high margin of error and many uncertainties regarding the stream channel's geometry and features.

Probabilistic source-to-sink analysis of the provenance of the California paleoriver: implications for the early Eocene paleogeography of western North America
… catchment area using daily gauging data from 415 rivers worldwide. Previous studies using a global database of rivers use average discharge in scaling relationships to catchment area. We demonstrate that average discharge is a flow of variable magnitude and recurrence interval in rivers with …

Slope and bifurcation on braided distributive fluvial systems
… ancient fluvial systems is based on studies of modern rivers, but fails to differentiate between degradational and aggradational systems. That is a problem because degradational systems are not preserved and therefore are not representative of fluvial systems found in the rock record. Current …
