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.

Urbanization and climate change impacts on future urban flooding in Can Tho city, Vietnam [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Urban development increases flood risk in cities due to local changes in hydrological and hydrometeorological conditions that increase flood hazard, as well as to urban concentrations that increase the vulnerability.

Multivariate statistical modelling of compound events via pair-copula constructions: analysis of floods in Ravenna (Italy) [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Compound events (CEs) are multivariate extreme events in which the individual contributing variables may not be extreme themselves, but their joint – dependent – occurrence causes an extreme impact.

Exploring the impact of balconies on cooling energy demand in an arid climate zone
Selected Scientific Papers - Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021 This paper explores the impact of balconies on the energy demand required for cooling in the arid climate zone of the city of Adrar, in Algeria. For the purpose to assess several situations of the balconies, we have chosen a parametric method based on a ...

Inter-comparison of statistical downscaling methods for projection of extreme precipitation in Europe [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2015 Information on extreme precipitation for future climate is needed to assess the changes in the frequency and intensity of flooding. The primary source of information in climate change impact studies is climate model projections.

Temperature, viral genetics, and the transmission of West Nile virus by Culex pipiens mosquitoes.
PLoS Pathogens, 2008 The distribution and intensity of transmission of vector-borne pathogens can be strongly influenced by the competence of vectors. Vector competence, in turn, can be influenced by temperature and viral genetics.

Mean and extreme precipitation over European river basins better simulated in a 25 km AGCM [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2018 Limited spatial resolution is one of the factors that may hamper applications of global climate models (GCMs), in particular over Europe with its complex coastline and orography.

A dynamic perspective on publics and counterpublics: The role of the blogosphere in pushing the issue of climate change during the 2016 US presidential campaign [PDF]
, 2019 Climate change was hardly debated during the 2016 US presidential campaign. Against this background and building upon Fraser's concept of counterpublics (1990), this paper examines whether climate change advocates used the English-speaking blogosphere to
