• The streamflow reconstructions featured on this site are from the LTRR-SRP-I project "A Tree-Ring Based Assessment  of Synchronous Extreme Streamflow Episodes in the Upper Colorado & Salt-Verde-Tonto  River Basins "     LTRR-SRP-I Project Website     FAQ
  
  
• The reconstructions were computed by Dave Meko using the following basic approach:
