River flooding is among the most destructive of natural hazards globally, causing
widespread loss of life, damage to infrastructure and economic deprivation. Societies are …

Assessments of present and future flood hazard are often limited by the scarcity and short
time span of the instrumental time series. In pursuit of documenting the occurrence and …

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 …

Extreme floods are anticipated to become more frequent in a future warmer climate.
However, the long-term alterations in flood patterns across different regions of Europe …

Lake sediments are a valuable archive to document past flood occurrence and magnitude,
and their evolution over centuries to millennia. This information has the potential to greatly …

Mediterranean mountains have been extremely vulnerable to land degradation and soil
erosion due to climate factors (summer hydric stress, high storminess) and the long history of …

In lakes and oceans, links between modern sediment density flow processes and deposits
preserved in long-term geological records are poorly understood. Consequently, it is unclear …

Carbonate minerals in the lacustrine sediments bear abundant geological and
environmental information, such as regional geological background, sedimentary process …

Lake sediments are increasingly explored as reliable paleoflood archives. In addition to
established flood proxies including detrital layer thickness, chemical composition, and grain …

The geomorphic effects of river floods in various climatic settings worldwide have been
extensively described, but there is little information on sedimentary processes during and …
