Evidence for the multiple flood—as many as 40 as estimated by Waitt (1980; 1984; 1985)—hypothesis is derived mainly from lake deposits in Ninemile Creek and flood deposits in Burlingame Canyon. Shaw et al. (1999) reevaluated these sedimentary sequences and concluded that the sequences do not imply multiple floods separated by decades or centuries. They suggest that the sediment records indicate that there were sources... You do not have access to this content, please speak to your institutional administrator if you feel you should have access.
