We present an annual reconstruction of extreme rainfall events interpreted from detrital
layers and turbidites interbedded within a varved sediment record since the 14 th century in …

In many regions of the world flood events in mountain basins are one of the greatest risks to
the local population, due to the pressure placed on land use by social and economic …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …

Sediment transport (bedload and suspension) plays a relevant role in the morphological
response of river channels to large floods. Sediment load controls erosion and aggradation …

The increasing frequency and/or severity of extreme climate events are becoming
increasingly apparent over multi‐decadal timescales at the global scale, albeit with relatively …

Catastrophic floods from breaching of natural dams on the Namche Barwa and Giala Peri
play an important role in shaping high-mountain landforms in the eastern Himalayan …

The challenge of accurately estimating the deposition age of incompletely-bleached
samples in luminescence dating has motivated developments in the analysis of single grain …

Increasing extreme temperature, precipitation and rapid meltwater events have added stress
to the Himalaya's hydrological sensitivity and major flood risks, however, current extreme …

In recent decades, the quantification of flood hydrological characteristics (peak discharge,
hydrograph shape, and runoff volume) from documentary evidence has gained scientific …

Abstract Professor Kenneth J. Gregory was a major contributor to fluvial palaeohydrological
research. Beginning in the early 1980s, under his influence, rapid international growth of the …
