Lower Meuse Paleoflood Record Reveals NAO‐Driven Decadal to Multi‐Centennial Variability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract A central challenge in assessing climate‐driven flood regimes is constructing long‐term paleoflood records with sufficient temporal resolution to identify both short‐ and long‐term variability. To address this, we performed grain‐size and X‐ray fluorescence scanning analyses on two cores from paleochannels in the Lower Meuse (the Netherlands).

The Paleo‐Serchio River: history of floods between Lucca and Pisa during the Roman period

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 141-152, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The reconstruction of flood frequency beyond the Instrumental Era is challenging and mostly based on historical sources, but it rarely covers more than the last 1000 years when abundant documentation is preserved. To investigate the long‐term trends in flooding and obtain insight into current climatic changes it is necessary to extend these ...

Ancient Floods, Modern Hazards: The Ping River, Paleofloods and the ’Lost City’ of Wiang Kum Kam

, 2015
This paper demonstrates that the importance of rivers in northern Thailand was anchored upon society’s dependence on them for sustenance and defense. Concurrently, rivers were also of deep religious and cultural significance.

Outburst floods records in the Yigong River since holocene, southeastern Tibet

Geoenvironmental Disasters
Background Paleofloods are critical geomorphic driving forces shaping the landform evolution of the Tibetan Plateau margin. Although paleoflood investigations have been conducted in the Yarlung Tsangpo River, including documented sedimentary records in ...

Holocene Lake Sediments Reveal Alluvial Fan History With Links to Climate, Wildfire, and Earthquakes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 129, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Flood hazards along alluvial rivers vary over time due to changes in both flow regime and channel morphology; however, their millennial‐scale histories are difficult to study from incomplete and poorly dated alluvial stratigraphies. Thus, the role of external forcings (e.g., climate) in the magnitude of alluvial channel dynamics remains poorly

Fluviomorphic trajectories for dryland ephemeral stream channels following extreme flash floods

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 2628-2650, July 2024.
Aerial photographs enable evolutionary trajectory analyses of ephemeral streams. The geometric braiding index reaches the pre‐flood state the fastest, that is, in circa 15–24 years. Junction‐node density and stream‐link area recover in 25 years after extraordinary floods, but the spatial distribution of the channel forms takes 30–35 years to recover ...

Bank erosion and erosion processes from dendrogeomorphology in southern U.S. prairie streams

River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 747-760, June 2024.
Abstract Streambank erosion processes influence the amount of soil material contributed to rivers and sedimentation rates in receiving reservoirs. However, the amount of data on bank erosion rates is limited both in range and extent affecting planning for mitigation and watershed management.

Challenges in the attribution of river flood events

WIREs Climate Change, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2024.
Drivers of river floods change through time. Global warming, and associated changes in temperature and precipitation, often overlap with changes in the hydrology, such as land‐cover change, construction of levees and large‐scale irrigation. This poses a special challenge to the attribution of flood events.

Hydrological reconstruction and climatic background of the Holocene extreme paleoflood event in the Danjiang River, central China

Open Geosciences
The Danjiang River Basin, situated in central China, serves as the water source for the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. The occurrence of catastrophic rainstorm-induced floods within this basin constitutes a significant hazard
