Projections of climate change indicate an increase in the frequency and intensity of climatic hazards such as flooding and droughts, increasing the importance of understanding community vulnerability to extreme hydrological ...

The present study provides the first complete examination of how different time scales contributed to generate the four largest observed floods of the Paraná River (1905, 1983, 1992 and 1998). This inspection is based on ...

The ENSO event of 1997-1998 triggered one of the largest floods of the Paraná River since the beginning of its hydrological records (in 1884). The concentration and transport of particulate nutrients and metals of the ...

© 2019. The Authors.Tropical perturbations have been shown theoretically and observationally to excite long-range atmospheric responses in the form of Rossby wave teleconnections that result from the equator to pole gradient ...

The flood triggered by the ENSO event of 1997-1998 was one of the largest floods since records are available (1884). Water chemistry and nutrient concentrations of the river and of a representative floodplain marsh were ...

In recent decades, there has been a significant increase in economic losses caused by flood events on the coastal region of south-eastern Spain. The increase of extreme rainfall events forecast by the climate change models ...

Floods have been a recurring theme in California’s climatology, hydrology, and politics throughout its history. Today, California's aging water supply and flood protection infrastructures are challenged by major floods ...

This thesis researched, in a watershed typically rural, ways to prevent the lack of mobility of the population, during and after flood events. Studies have also demonstrated the feasibility of developing a system to support ...

Empirical conditional probabilities of extreme monthly precipitation averaged over three regions of the southern part of the La Plata basin were calculated as a function of three atmospheric indices: two of them represent ...
