In most cases, flood risk in the UK, France and Ireland increases, but is offset by larger decreases in risk in Germany. Change in risk at the cell-level is strongly related to change in the frequency with which flooding begins (Supplementary Figure 4). The relationship between change in ...
Flooding is always a potential hazard. The short, swift streams of Galicia and Cantabria, draining to the northwestern and northern coasts, respectively, have only a slight or, at most, modest summer minimum. The predominant fluvial regime in Spain is thus characterized by a long or very long...
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however, often differ from the theorized expectation of increases in water‐holding capacity of the atmosphere in the warmer...
"Climate change could have lots of different impacts on some of these buildings. So some of the buildings might not necessarily have flooding issues, but they may have issues related to moisture and things like that which could have an impact on buildings and artefacts within them,"...

Fig. 1: Map of climate change-attributed flooding (38% scenario). Each hexagonal bin symbolizes the number of residential buildings that would not have flooded without the added impact of climate change in Harris County, Texas during Hurricane Harvey. Full size image ...
climate change and population growth to future US flood risk (Fig.4a). The average annual exposure (AAE) of the current US population to flooding is 3.63 million (1.18%). Climate change is projected to increase the AAE of present populations to 4.31 million (1.41%), an increase of 18.6%...
Already at threat from rising sea levels, cyclones, droughts, and flooding, it's estimated that by 2050, one in seven people in Bangladesh will be displaced by climate change. The CVF is consequently demanding developed nations also do much more to pay for the disproportionat...

“And also because of sea-level rise, the resulting flooding is more intense than it would be without human-induced climate change.“ Evidence of more high frequency storms Dr Jennifer Fitchett enlarges on the change in cyclone activity at the Conversation. InTropical cyclone Idai: The storm ...
