Studies of coastal vulnerability due to climate change tend to focus on the consequences of
sea level rise, rather than the complex coastal responses resulting from changes to the …

The southwest coast of England was subjected to an unusually energetic sequence of
Atlantic storms during the 2013/2014 winter, with the 8‐week period from mid‐December to …

In winter 2013/14 a succession of storms hit the UK leading to record rainfall and flooding in
many regions including south east England. In the Thames river valley there was …

A succession of storms reaching southern England in the winter of 2013/2014 caused
severe floods and£ 451 million insured losses. In a large ensemble of climate model …

In this paper we analyse the spatial footprint and temporal clustering of extreme sea level
and skew surge events around the UK coast over the last 100 years (1915–2014). The vast …

In risk analysis, it is recognized that hazards can often combine to worsen their joint impact,
but impact data for a rail network show that hazards can also tend to be mutually exclusive at …
