Land degradation affects natural and cultivated socio-ecosystems worldwide. Soil erosion is
one of the main processes leading to land degradation, and the process is accelerated by …

This paper presents the results of a systematic review of temperature and precipitation
extremes over the Iberian Peninsula, focusing on observed changes in temperature and …

neither our probability quantification nor our compositing methodology quantifies the
amplitude of extreme ridging events. Because we do not explicitly consider geopotential …

Attribution of extreme events is a challenging science and one that is currently undergoing
considerable evolution. In this paper, 20 different research groups explored the causes of 16 …

High levels of atmospheric pollutants are frequently measured in Portugal, a country which
has been affected by several pollution episodes, exceeding PM10, O 3 and NO 2 legal limits …

The present work aims to evaluate potential sources of uncertainty associated with rainfall-
triggered event-based landslide inventories within the framework of landslide susceptibility …

This article offers a review of research and policy on climate change in Portugal and is
organized into three main themes: scientific knowledge and assessment of climate change; …

Landslide research has benefited greatly from advances in remote sensing techniques.
However, the recent increase in available data on land surface movement provided by …

In this work we performed an analysis on the impacts of blocking episodes on seasonal and
annual European precipitation and the associated physical mechanisms. Distinct domains …

The time variability and long term trends of PM 2.5 (particulate matter of diameter< 2.5 μm) at
various regional background (RB) sites across Europe are studied and interpreted in this …
