Ephemeral Mediterranean Watercourses Strongly Altered by Growth in Tourism: The Case of Benidorm (Spain)

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Many ephemeral Mediterranean watercourses are affected by the growth of tourism and the demand for holiday homes. Calculating the runoff threshold in these small basins is vital for understanding the impact generated by urban growth and its incidence on ...

Lake Sediments Reveal Large Variations in Flood Frequency Over the Last 6,500 Years in South-Western Norway

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Lake sediments can retain imprints of past floods, enabling reconstructions that span well-beyond instrumental time series. Time series covering thousands of years can document the natural range of flood variability, which is critical for understanding ...

Grain Size and Magnetic Characteristics of Floodplain Sediments in a Small Watershed at Northern Guangdong: Implications for Paleoflood Identification

open access: yesRedai dili, 2023
With the intensification of global climate change, floods caused by typhoons and heavy rainfall occur frequently. It is important to effectively identify flood events within sedimentary records to study the flood frequency patterns. Currently, grain size

Climatic control of upper Yangtze River flood hazard diminished by reservoir groups

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Over recent decades, concern has grown regarding the effects of climate change and artificial river projects on the variability of river floods. Specifically, it has been demonstrated that the Mississippi River flood hazard has been amplified by river ...

Bacteria as paleoenvironmental proxies: the study of a cave Pleistocene profile [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences
Caves are well-known archives that preserve valuable information about the past, relevant for reconstructing past climates and environments. We sampled sediments from a 480 cm deep profile, and 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene-based ...

Extreme flood events in the western Mediterranean: integrating numerical MODelling and flood records in KARST systems (MODKARST project)

open access: yesGeogaceta
Changes in rainfall patterns are a direct consequence of the current climate change. Climate projections indicate an intensification of extreme rainfall events, which will directly affect social, ecological, and economic systems.

Records of past flood in caves of the Central Pyrenees

open access: yesMètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review
Changes in rainfall patterns, driven by climate change, are intensifying extreme rainfall events and floods, posing significant social, ecological, and economic challenges. Understanding and predicting flood variability across time and space is crucial,
