River floods frequently occur when tropical cyclones hit land. Nonetheless, systematic, long-
term discharge data remain rather scarce in many tropical countries, which prevent proper …

Recent developments in tree-ring research offer great potential for reconstructing past
climate changes; determining the frequencies of natural hazards; and assessing the …

In a global climate change scenario “Extreme climatic events” are expected to widely affect
flora and vegetation in Med-regions, especially “Extremes Rainfall Events” which will have …

Abstract The Jing River is a secondary tributary of the Yellow River, which flows through the
middle of the Loess Plateau in China. Severe water scarcity and soil erosion in the basin …

Currently, most of the world's coastal territories are subject to erosive processes, often
caused by an alteration of sediment balance due to both natural and anthropogenic factors …

The use of check dams is a common strategy to reduce soil erosion in the Mediterranean
headwaters. However, the effects of these control works on water flow rates and sediment …

The eastern Mediterranean is a hotspot in terms of geomorphic hazards, but the activity of
gravitational processes in mountainous areas is largely unexplored. We carried out …

In China, flash floods are one of the main natural disasters causing loss of life and damage
to infrastructure. The threat of flash floods is exacerbated with climate change and increased …

In watershed management, check dams are commonly used to increase lag time, recharge
groundwater, and decrease flood peak discharge and sediment transfer. In this regard, the …

Few records of spring paleoclimate are available for boreal Canada, as biological proxies
recording the beginning of the warm season are uncommon. Given the spring warming …
