This project seeks to improve the paleoclimate record and the broader scientific understanding of past and future hydrologic variability in the South Atlantic Gulf Basin (AGB) and Southeastern (SE) United States by carrying out a three-year research program to investigate pre-instrumental streamflow and associated climate variability in this region. The principle goals of the research program are to develop quantitative, multi-century, tree-ring reconstructions and to assess the risk of future streamflow in the SE and AGB. The specific aims of this project are to 1) develop streamflow reconstructions for eight major, coastal, interstate rivers; 2) conduct inter-basin comparisons to identify spatial and temporal patterns of common and disparate streamflow variability across the region; 3) provide novel insights on how the dynamical modes of climate variability (e.g., El Nino-Southern Oscillation, the North Atlantic Sub-tropical High, and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation) force regional expressions of climate change, hydrological variability, extreme drought and pluvial events, and potential regime shifts over the past 500-1,000 years and 4) characterize the risk of future streamflow and extreme events in these watersheds.This research will provide insight into not only the long-term variability of streamflow, but will also shed light on the associated physical, social, economic and ecological impacts this variability has on coastal watersheds in the AGB and SE US. Improved understanding of streamflow variability will directly benefit the development of water policy in SE, by informing a variety of socially and economically relevant areas related to water withdrawals, streamflow forecasts, drought and flood mitigation.Recent work on the Suwannee River (Florida) provides a successful example of how streamflow in the Southeast can be reconstructed over multiple centuries with high variance explained (R2=0.68) and robust validation statistics (RE, 0.71; CE, 0.81), in addition to providing novel insight into the controls of past hydroclimate to characterize and manage the risk of future streamflow in the AGB and SE.The potential Broader Impacts include the potential for enhanced understanding of both the history of hydroclimate variability (especially extreme low flow events) and the role of regional and large-scale climate forcing mechanisms that drive streamflow variability. This project seeks to provide information useful for applied risk management around hydrologic extremes in the South Atlantic Gulf Basin (AGB) and Southeastern (SE) United States region. Understanding the timing and magnitude of past events and having accurate future forecasting is crucial for public and private stakeholders to prepare for the future and increase resiliency. In addition, by characterizing past, present and future streamflow and the risk of extreme events in the AGB and SE watersheds, this research will advance knowledge of how to protect and sustain riparian zones, coastal watersheds and surrounding lands now and into the future.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目旨在通过开展一项为期三年的研究计划来调查仪器使用前的径流，改善南大西洋海湾盆地（AGB）和美国东南部（SE）的古气候记录，并对过去和未来的水文变化有更广泛的科学了解。该地区的相关气候变化。该研究计划的主要目标是开发定量的，多世纪的树木年轮重建，并评估未来的径流在SE和AGB的风险。 该项目的具体目标是：1）对8条主要的沿海州际河流进行径流重建; 2）进行流域间比较，以确定整个地区常见和不同的径流变化的空间和时间模式; 3）提供关于气候变化的动力模式（例如，厄尔尼诺-南方涛动、北大西洋副热带高压和大西洋多年代际涛动）迫使气候变化、水文变率、极端干旱和暴雨事件以及过去500-1年潜在制度转变的区域表现，4）描述这些流域未来径流和极端事件的风险。这项研究不仅将深入了解这些流域的长期-长期径流的变化，但也将阐明相关的物理，社会，经济和生态影响，这种变化对沿海流域在AGB和美国东南部。 对径流变化的更好理解将直接有利于东南部水政策的制定，为与取水、径流预测、最近对Suwannee河（佛罗里达）的研究提供了一个成功的例子，说明如何在多个世纪内重建东南部的径流，并解释了高方差（R2=0.68）和稳健验证统计量（RE，0.71; CE，0.81），除了提供对过去水文气候控制的新见解，以描述和管理AGB和SE未来径流的风险外，潜在的更广泛影响包括增强对水文气候变化历史的理解，（特别是极端低流量事件）以及驱动径流变率的区域和大尺度气候强迫机制的作用。 该项目旨在为南大西洋海湾盆地（AGB）和美国东南部（SE）地区水文极端情况的应用风险管理提供有用的信息。了解过去事件的时间和规模，并对未来进行准确的预测，对于公共和私人利益攸关方为未来做好准备并提高复原力至关重要。 此外，通过描述AGB和SE流域过去、现在和未来的径流和极端事件的风险，这项研究将推进关于如何保护和维持河岸带、沿海流域和周围土地的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
