Soil moisture and hydrology projections of the permafrost region – a model intercomparison [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2020 This study investigates and compares soil moisture and hydrology projections of broadly used land models with permafrost processes and highlights the causes and impacts of permafrost zone soil moisture projections.

The European 2015 drought from a hydrological perspective [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 In 2015 large parts of Europe were affected by drought. In this paper, we analyze the hydrological footprint (dynamic development over space and time) of the drought of 2015 in terms of both severity (magnitude) and spatial extent and compare it to ...

Development and evaluation of an efficient soil-atmosphere model (FHAVeT) based on the Ross fast solution of the Richards equation for bare soil conditions [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 In agricultural management, a good timing in operations, such as irrigation or sowing, is essential to enhance both economical and environmental performance. To improve such timing, predictive software are of particular interest.

Observation and modelling of snow at a polygonal tundra permafrost site: spatial variability and thermal implications [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2018 The shortage of information on snow properties in high latitudes places a major limitation on permafrost and more generally climate modelling. A dedicated field program was therefore carried out to investigate snow properties and their spatial ...

Understanding flood regime changes in Europe: a state-of-the-art assessment [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed.

Building a field- and model-based climatology of local water and energy cycles in the cultivated Sahel – annual budgets and seasonality [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 In the sub-Saharan Sahel, energy and water cycling at the land surface is pivotal for the regional climate, water resources and land productivity, yet it is still very poorly documented.

Science and Management of Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral Streams (SMIRES) [PDF]
Research Ideas and Outcomes, 2017 More than half of the global river network is composed of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which are expanding in response to climate change and increasing water demands. After years of obscurity, the science of IRES has bloomed recently

Quick estimate of extreme floods water levels
E3S Web of Conferences, 2016 In order to map extreme floods (return period as high as 500 or 1000 years) for which the discharges are uncertain, it appears cost effective to use a simplified method in order to obtain estimations of water levels. Generally, maps of the 100-year flood

A 20-year record (1998–2017) of permafrost, active layer and meteorological conditions at a high Arctic permafrost research site (Bayelva, Spitsbergen) [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2018 Most permafrost is located in the Arctic, where frozen organic carbon makes it an important component of the global climate system. Despite the fact that the Arctic climate changes more rapidly than the rest of the globe, observational data density in
