Proglacial braided river systems discharge large volumes of meltwater from ice sheets and trans-port coarse-grained sediments from the glaciated areas to the oceans. Here, we test the hypothesisif high-energy hydrological events can leave distinctive signatures in the sedimentary record ofbraided ri...
