Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Electrified rhythms: How hydropower infrastructure transforms hydrosocial relations of riverine communities in the Lower Sogamoso River, Colombia

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Hydropower dams regulate water flows for millions of downstream inhabitants worldwide, altering water availability. Under a changing climate, flow control is often framed technically and politically as being essential for reducing drought and flood risks. However, it can also disrupt ecological flows, impact livelihoods and erode environmental

Forwarding forest restoration: Seven key socio‐ecological issues for advancing forest restoration in a world in flux

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Restoring forests can help conserve biodiversity, mitigate climate change and enhance human well‐being. Despite financial and political support for global forest restoration initiatives, projects continue to face persistent challenges and trade‐offs between environmental, climatic and socio‐economic goals.

Estimating Probabilities of Extreme Rainfalls

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1989
For a variety of design purposes there is increasing interest in estimating probabilities of rare floods, with magnitudes up to the probable maximum flood. One estimation approach, which we term “stochastic storm transposition,” is a generalization of the concept of storm transposition, which is the basis for estimating probable maximum precipitation ...

Extreme rainfall intensities

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 1984
Statistics of the total time, in minutes, that extreme rainfall rates are exceeded were computed from weighing raingage records at stations in several rainfall regimes. The results are presented on maps, frequency diagrams and as analytical expressions. Measures of areal variability were calculated from data at seven stations within an 8 km2 area.

Spatial dependence of extreme rainfall

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017
This study aims to model the spatial extreme daily rainfall process using the max-stable model. The max-stable model is used to capture the dependence structure of spatial properties of extreme rainfall. Three models from max-stable are considered namely Smith, Schlather and Brown-Resnick models. The methods are applied on 12 selected rainfall stations

Heatwave-related extreme rainfall events

2022
<p>Research on heatwave-related impacts typically focusses on risks to health or critical infrastructure. However, since high temperatures are an important element of convection-driven extreme rainfall events that can trigger flash floods, heatwave-induced extreme rainfall events are also important when considering heatwave impacts. Heavy

Secular Trend in Extreme Rainfalls?

Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1979
Abstract Increasing attention has recently been given to many facets of climate change. This study focuses on a possible trend in extreme rainfalls in the past two decades based on the records of 135 National Weather Service stations in the eastern United States. The standard used to compare the recent data is Weather Bureau Technical Paper No. 40. The
