Real-Time Early Warning System Design For Pluvial Flash Floods—A Review
(Sensors (Switzerland), 2018)
Housing bubbles and the increase of flood exposure. Failures in flood risk management on the Spanish south-eastern coast (1975-2013)
(Wiley, 2018)
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 ...
The role of fleshy pericarp in seed germination and dispersal under flooded conditions in three wetland forest species
(2013)
In flooded habitats, inundations affect important forest regeneration processes, such as seed dispersal and germination. The main seed dispersal mechanism used by species in Austral South American temperate swamp and ...
Early warning system for detection of urban pluvial flooding hazard levels in an ungauged basin
(Natural Hazards, 2018)
Integrated analysis of natural hazards in the coastal semiarid environment of Chile. La Serena, Coquimbo
(Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles, 2015)
We identify the landscape units most prone to natural hazards that frequently strike the Coquimbo bay. The research was based on geomorphological processes and soil infiltration capacity. Also, some proxies realized by ...
Meteorological Characterization of Large Daily Flows in a High-Relief Ungauged Basin Using Principal Component Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2019)
Decision making and hydrologic design for coping with floods are complex tasks in poorly gauged high-relief basins. The response of such basins is driven by precipitation and temperature, which controls the freezing level ...
A plausible atmospheric trigger for the 2017 coastal El Niño
(Wiley, 2018-04)
The far eastern tropical Pacific experienced a rapid, marked warming in early 2017, causing torrential rains along the west coast of South America with a significant societal toll in Peru and Ecuador. This strong coastal ...
High impact weather events in the Andes
(Frontiers Media, 2020)
Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the population of the region are highly prone ...
From multi-risk evaluation to resilience planning: The case of central Chilean coastal cities
(MDPI AG, 2019)
Multi-hazard evaluations are fundamental inputs for disaster risk management plans and the implementation of resilient urban environments, adapted to extreme natural events. Risk assessments from natural hazards have been ...
