HydroTrend is used to simulate daily Q and Qs since the Late Glacial Maximum (LGM). The paleo Po basin is reconstructed by merging a DEM and bathymetry. Climate for the LGM came from the CCSM climate model, and modern climate records, interpolated between using a normalized d18O ice core curve. The Pleistocene (21-10 kyr) suspended load is 32.5 MT/y; bedload is 0.91 MT/y, 1.7 times the Holocene flux of 18.8 MT/yr and 0.53 MT/yr, respectively.
