Furious floods have become an omnipresent reality with the dawn of climate change and its transition to adulthood. Since climate change has now become an accepted reality, analysing the factors that favour or disfavour floods are an urgent requirement. Here we showcase the role of paleochannels, ...
Because of global climate change, extreme flood events are expected to increase in quantity and intensity in the upcoming decades. In catchments affected by ore mining, flooding leads to the deposition of fine sediments enriched in trace metal(loid)s. Depending on their concentration, trace metal...
The frequency of extreme flood events is expected to rise due to climate change [1,2,3]. Among other things, this is worrying because floods are a primary transport mechanism for sediment-related trace metal(loid)s, hereafter referred to as trace metals, from mining and industrial activities ...
and its frequency and severity are expected to increase with climate change. Plants have evolved diverse acclimation responses to survive under unfavorable conditions. Some plants adopt either escape or quiescence strategies when submerged. In an escape strategy, plants elongate their internodes to mainta...
The increasingly violent weather with intensifying rainfall extremes due to climate change, growing urbanization, and in many places an aging infrastructure with overdued upgrades and maintenance all contribute to this apparent deficiency (ASCE, 2011; Wright et al., 2019). Rainy meteorological summers ...
A deeper aquifer shows no hydraulic response to surface-water flow events and is isolated from the shallow system, consistent with its Pleistocene groundwater age. This supports a growing body of evidence indicating that attributing or predicting generalised changes in recharge to changes in climate ...
