This paper explores extreme storms with marine flooding events in historical times. It focuses
on the challenges associated with detecting these events with a degree of certainty in a …

Finding records of past catastrophic storm events is essential to evaluate the long term
climatic evolution in a given coastal area. This question has been addressed by the study of …

A study of sediment cores was undertaken to follow the horizontal extent of washover fans in
the Palavasian lagoons (Languedoc, France). These geomorphological structures are …

Storms and tsunamis, which may seriously endanger human society, are amongst the most
devastating marine catastrophes that can occur in coastal areas. Many such events are …

This paper presents the benefits of multiplying environmental indicators to better understand
the impacts of past storm events on the environment. It aims to describe the methodological …

Understanding long-term variability in the frequency of intense storm activity is important for
assessing whether changes are controlled by climate evolution. Understanding this …

Since the Belize coast was repeatedly affected by hurricanes and the paleohurricane record
for this region is poor, sediment cores from coastal lagoon environments along the central …

Flevoland (central Netherlands) is an area of long-term discontinuous deposition that has
been reclaimed from the Zuiderzee in the 20th century. Before the reclamation, the …

Climate models project that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations will increase
the frequency and the severity of some extreme weather events. The flood events represent …

This paper details a high-resolution record of French Atlantic coast extreme wave events
using a multi-proxy analysis of dated sedimentary deposits. Two lagoons 1) the Petite Mer …
