Abstract The Pyrenean Lake Montcortès sediments hold the longest continuous and
absolutely varve-dated record of the Mediterranean region, encompassing the last three …

Extratropical cyclones, a major phenomenon of the mid‐latitude atmospheric dynamics,
show strong variability over a range of time scales. Future projections hint at an increase of …

River flooding triggered by extreme rainfall events is a major natural hazard that frequently
causes fatalities and damages in southeastern France. A 2000-year record of flooding from …

The Mediterranean region is expected to be highly impacted by global warming, although
the uncertainty of future scenarios, particularly about precipitation patterns remains quite …

The varved sediments of Lake Montcortès (central pre-Pyrenees) have provided a
continuous high-resolution record of the last ca. 3000 years. Previous chronological and …

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 …

Soil loss and erosion is a major environmental problem in the Mediterranean. Soil and water
bioengineering uses plants and/or parts of plants along with inert material to create solutions …

Climate change implies changes in the frequency and magnitude of flood events. The
influence of climate variability on flooding was evaluated by an analysis of sedimentary …

Floods are one of the gravest natural hazards for societies, worsened by population growth,
unchecked development, and climate change. From a Global Change perspective, past …

Landslides caused by earthquakes bring about dramatic changes in soil erodibility. In order
to understand the change characteristics of soil erodibility during a vegetation restoration …
