This review, commissioned by the Research Councils UK Living With Environmental
Change (LWEC) programme, concerns research on the impacts on health and social care …

There is a burgeoning international literature on hydro-climatic trend detection, motivated by
the need to detect and interpret any emerging changes in river flows associated with …

Effective flood risk management depends on methods for estimating flood hazard and an
appraisal of the dominant uncertainties in the analysis. Typically, hydraulic models are used …

Local and potentially more impactful regional floods are driven by a combination of
precipitation‐triggering storms and antecedent conditions. However, it is yet unclear how the …

Precipitation over western Europe (WE) is projected to increase (decrease) roughly
northward (equatorward) of 50° N during the 21st century. These changes are generally …

In spite of major physical impacts from large floods, present river management rarely takes
into account the possible dynamics and variation in magnitude–impact relations over time in …

Soil degradation by water is a serious environmental problem worldwide, with specific
climatic factors being the major causes. We investigated the relationships between synoptic …

This paper describes a Bayesian statistical model for estimating flood frequency by
combining uncertain annual maximum (AMAX) data from a river gauge with estimates of …

Conventional techniques for quantifying and then managing flood risks are invalid under
'non-stationary'climate conditions. Trend detection and attribution are problematic given that …

Fluvial floods are typically investigated as' events' at the single basin-scale, hence flood
management authorities may underestimate the threat of flooding across multiple basins …
