The use of historical sources and data to improve knowledge of past extreme events is no
longer to be demonstrated. Old quantitative and qualitative data on water levels available in …

As instrumental records often cover only short time periods, historical information is the main
source of data in order to extend natural disaster catalogs. This study aims to show the …

The estimation of sea levels corresponding to high return periods is crucial for coastal
planning and for the design of coastal defenses. This paper deals with the use of historical …

The study of storm surges and more generally of extreme events is a subject of growing
interest in the current context of coastal risk management in a changing climate. Recent …

Coastal planning implies the estimation of extreme sea levels. As the distribution of
astronomical high tides can be predicted, most recent publications suggest focusing on the …

Coastal water level measurements represent one of the earliest geophysical measurements
and allow an assessment of historical sea level rise and trends in tides, river flow and storm …

Storm surges and the resulting extreme high sea levels are among the most dangerous
natural disasters and are responsible for widespread social, economic and environmental …

There is a growing interest for marine flooding related to recent catastrophic events and their
unintended consequences in terms of casualties and damages, and to the increasing …

Historical, non-digitized tide-gauge records are potentially of great value to the
oceanographic research community as they can extend existing sea-level time series as far …

Understanding and precisely dating the sedimentological imprint of storm-induced back-
barrier washover deposits is challenging, even more so in macro-tidal environments …
