Fig. 5: The effect of increased bedform preservation ratios on key palaeohydrologic parameters.
From: Quantitative constraints on flood variability in the rock record
a The primary y-axis indicates bedform turnover timescale, Tt, and the secondary y-axis indicates prevailing flow duration, Tf, when bedform disequilibrium number, T∗, is set as 0.113, and Tf of 6 modern rivers are given for comparison (references in Supplementary Information); b the primary y-axis indicates unit discharge, Q, and the secondary y-axis indicates bankfull discharge, Qbf, when channel width is set as 55 m, the average for the Pennant Formation28.
