"Flood of Mud: The Roanoke River -- Past and Future" is a video project examining long-term impacts of historic land clearing and erosion on temperate rivers and their floodplains. The 17-minute video targets youth and adult visitors to the North Carolina Aquariums. The video highlights the NSF-funded research project EAR-0105929, "Modeling the Impacts of Post-settlement Sediment Deposition on Floodplain Vegetation," which applies paleoecological and dendrochronological methods and computer modeling to examine and predict the impact of sedimentation on forest composition, productivity and functioning of the lower Roanoke River in North Carolina.

“泥浆洪流：“罗阿诺克河-过去和未来”是一个录像项目，研究历史上土地清理和侵蚀对温带河流及其洪泛区的长期影响。 这段17分钟的视频针对的是北卡罗来纳州水族馆的年轻人和成年游客。 该视频重点介绍了NSF资助的研究项目EJ-0105929，“模拟沉降后沉积物沉积对洪泛区植被的影响”，该项目应用古生态学和树木年代学方法以及计算机建模来研究和预测沉积对北卡罗来纳州罗阿诺克河下游森林组成、生产力和功能的影响。
