Sedimentological data are numerous in the field of paleoenvironmental, they are often put in relation with hydrological changes on or with different milieu. However, data that can quantitatively measure flows (m3/s) are much rarer. Sedimentological data associated with calculating Froude could possibly fill that gap?
Yes you can use the Froude Number in calculating various paleohydrlogical parameters. The best paper in of Schumm and Ethridge appeared in Can soc. You can also refer to look ouerpapers on this aspect.Our recent paper appeared in JEES 2014.
Example of calculation of quatitative parameters of paleoflows using sedimentological data you can see in "Reconstruction of paleohydrodynamic conditions during the formation of Upper Jurassic conglomerates of the Crimean Peninsula"
