Food system vulnerability amidst the extreme 2010-2011 flooding in the Peruvian Amazon: a case study from the Ucayali region
(Springer, 2016)
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 ...
Extreme seasonal droughts and floods in Amazonia: causes, trends and impacts
(Wiley, 2016)
This paper reviews recent progress in the study and understanding of extreme seasonal events in the Amazon region, focusing on drought and floods. The review includes a history of droughts and floods in the past, in the ...
Effects of extreme floods on macroinvertebrate assemblages in tributaries to the Mohawk River, New York, USA
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2017-09)
Climate change is forecast to bring more frequent and intense precipitation to New York which has motivated research into the effects of floods on stream ecosystems. Macroinvertebrate assemblages were sampled at 13 sites ...

Flash flood impacts of Hurricane Otto and hydrometeorological risk mapping in Costa Rica
(2020-09-17)
Flash floods are one of the most damaging natural hazards in tropics. Seasonal and extraordinary
rainfall recurrently trigger flash floods in Costa Rica. Hurricane Otto was the first reported hurricane
to have ever passed ...
Concentration and transport of particulate nutrients and metals in the Lower Paraná River during extreme flooding
(E Schweizerbartsche Verlags, 2002-02)
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 ...
Recent intensification of Amazon flooding extremes driven by strengthened Walker circulation
(American Association for the Advancement of Science: Science Advances, 2018-09-19)
The Amazon basin is the largest watershed on Earth. Although the variability of the Amazon hydrological cycle has been increasing since the late 1990s, its underlying causes have remained elusive. We use water levels in ...

(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2019)
© 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 ...
A paleo-hydro-geomorphological perspective on urban flood risk assessment
(2019)
Comprehensive flood risk assessment requires enhanced understanding of the coevolution of the river and its floodplain occupation. Paleoflood analysis to determine flood prone areas in combination with numerical simulations ...
