Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

Climate change and transport infrastructures: State of the art [PDF]

, 2018
Transport infrastructures are lifelines: They provide transportation of people and goods, in ordinary and emergency conditions, thus they should be resilient to increasing natural disasters and hazards.

Economy-wide effects of coastal flooding due to sea level rise: a multi-model simultaneous treatment of mitigation, adaptation, and residual impacts

Environmental Research Communications, 2020
This article presents a multi-model assessment of the macroeconomic impacts of coastal flooding due to sea level rise and the respective economy-wide implications of adaptation measures for two greenhouse gas (GHG) concentration targets, namely the ...

Holocene climate oscillations, seismotectonic events and human–environmental interactions reconstructed from the Giannades palaeolake on Corfu (Eastern Mediterranean, Greece)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Mediterranean is particularly sensitive to rapid climate changes (RCCs) during the Holocene. An increasing number of natural climate archives revealed that socio‐economic developments were influenced by such RCCs since the Palaeolithic. However, multi‐millennial and high‐resolution archives are still rare and often located in mountainous ...

Storm surge, seawater flooding, and sea-level rise paradoxically drive fresh surface water expansion

Environmental Research Letters
Coastal storms and sea-level rise (SLR) are expected to increase seawater flooding in low-elevation coastal zones. High sea levels and seawater flooding can drive groundwater table rise via ocean-aquifer connections.

Prediction of coastal flooding risk under climate change impacts in South Korea using machine learning algorithms

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Coastal areas have been affected by hazards such as floods and storms due to the impact of climate change. As coastal systems continue to become more socially and environmentally complex, the damage these hazards cause is expected to increase and ...

Posttraumatic stress disorder factor structure in hurricane‐affected Puerto Ricans: A PTSD Checklist for DSM‐5 comparison with non‐Latiné White individuals

Journal of Traumatic Stress, EarlyView.
Abstract Due to Puerto Rico's location, there is heightened vulnerability to the consequences of natural disasters, contributing to an elevated risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Given PTSD's heterogeneous nature, this study examined whether PTSD factor structure, based on DSM‐5 criteria and measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM‐5 (PCL‐5)

A Storm Hazard Matrix combining coastal flooding and beach erosion

Coastal Engineering, 2020
Coastal storms cause widespread damage to property, infrastructure, economic activity and the environment. Along open sandy coastlines, two of the primary coastal storm hazards are coastal flooding by elevated ocean water levels and beach erosion as the ...
