Description :
In the first part, the AA. consider some examples of historic catastrophic flood and landslide events to generalize about the spatial and temporal controls on present-day catastrophic events. In the second part, they consider selected examples of the surficial stratigraphic record to evaluate the long-term effect of catastrophic events on the Appalachian landscape.
