We present the first quantitative reconstruction of palaeofloods using lake sediments for the UK and show that for a large catchment in NW England the cluster of devastating floods from 1990 to present is without precedent in this 558‐year palaeo‐record. Our approach augments conventional flood ...

“It will certainly have left its mark on a number of countries, as to how they think and plan for climate change in the future, much as the 2000 floods have revolutionised the way the Government is thinking about flooding in the UK. The 2003 heatwave will have similar repercussions across...

The data undeniably shows a robust and consistent increase in humidity over the NWI over the past few decades. This is of paramount significance, as it directly correlates with the escalating frequency of catastrophic flooding events across the NWI, the trend is approximately 3.5% per decade, ...
Rapid intensification (RI) is an essential process in the development of strong tropical cyclones and a major challenge in prediction. RI in offshore regions is more threatening to coastal populations and economies. Although much effort has been devoted
The visual inspection of images highlighted the damaged buildings, tsunami-related shoreline changes, and the assessment of flooding extent (Fig. 3d). Results This rapid, low-cost methodology for assessing tsunami impacts on humans and infrastructure delivers a number of dasymetric vulnerability maps. ...

Wind-generated ocean waves drive important coastal processes that determine flooding and erosion. Ocean warming has been one factor affecting waves globally. Most studies have focused on studying parameters such as wave heights, but a systematic, global and long-term signal of climate change in globa...
The recent flooding in Germany has been estimated to have been a 1 in 100-year event. Even if there are unpredictable, rare events, such as 1 in 1,000-years, that is a probability estimate and doesn’t preclude the possibility of them occurring more frequently, even back-to-back. If ...
