Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 33, August 2026. <br/>SignificanceFloods are among the most devastating natural disasters, yet the long-term roles of climate and human activity in shaping river flood hazards remain unclear. This study reconstructs 500 y of Yangtze River flood variability using lake sediments…
