“…Consequently, this study presents a continuous, 2100 year record of sediment accumulation in a natural in-stream lake (Amherst Lake, southeastern Vermont) as a means of quantifying long-term rates of sediment transfer from the surrounding watershed and identifying discrete, episodic depositional events resulting from floods and upstream landslides. Sediment deposition associated with Tropical Storm Irene (TSI), which caused widespread flooding and landslides in the northeastern United States in August 2011 [Olson and Bent, 2013;Dethier et al, 2015;Yellen et al, 2014], is used as a modern analogue for interpreting past depositional events. Periods of rapid sediment accumulation and inferred erosion are assessed in relation to a well-documented history of human land cover change, existing paleoclimate reconstructions, and historical flood records with the primary goal of quantifying human and climatic impacts on the magnitude and frequency of extreme erosional events.…”

“…The peak flow of 14,900 cubic feet per second (ft 3 /s) at the Hoosic River near Williamstown streamgage (01332500; fig. 1) is roughly equivalent to the 1-percent AEP flood of 14,500 ft 3 /s of the streamgage (Olson and Bent, 2013). The peak discharge at the discontinued North Branch Hoosic River at North Adams streamgage (01332000) was estimated, using indirect flow estimation techniques (Horton, 1907;Hulsing, 1967), to be 13,200 ft 3 /s, which is between a 1-and 0.5-percent AEP flood; the peak discharge at Hoosic River at Adams streamgage (01331500) was 2,690 ft 3 /s, which is between a 10-and 4-percent AEP flood; and the peak discharge at Green River at Williamstown streamgage (01333000) was 4,140 ft 3 /s, which is slightly less than a 2-percent AEP flood.…”
