	abstract = {Sediment cores retrieved from landslide-dammed Loon Lake recorded events back to the 5th century AD in a forested, mountainous catchment, thereby providing an opportunity to compare the impacts of known recent perturbations, including floods and timber harvesting with those of an
early period in the cores, floods, fires, and earthquakes. High-resolution multi-parameter (grain size, \%TC, \%TN, and magnetic susceptibility) data allowed the core stratigraphy to be classified as background sedimentation and events. Cs-137 and radiocarbon dating, as well as a varved record in the last 75years provided age control. Mean mass accumulation rate from 1939 to 1978AD, the time of peak timber harvest and a cool wet phase of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, was 0.79 (0.74-0.92, 95\% C.L.) g cm(-2) y(-1), significantly higher than mean rates of both the more recent contemporary period (coincident with the passing of the legislation that regulated harvesting practices in the region), 1979-2012AD, at 0.58 (0.48-0.70) and the entire early period, 0.44 (0.41-0.46). Several event deposits are coeval with independently estimated ages of eight Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes in the early period, including the 1700AD Mw 9.0 event. These deposits are predominantly formed by hyperpycnal flows, as are the known event deposits in the contemporary period. The high mass accumulation rate and greater frequency of thick event deposits during the early contemporary period point to the extraordinary role of timber harvesting in priming the landscape for subsequent sedimentary delivery during floods.
