Holocene flood frequency across the Central Alps–solar forcing and evidence for variations in North Atlantic atmospheric circulation
SB Wirth, L Glur, A Gilli, FS Anselmetti - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2013 - Elsevier
The frequency of large-scale heavy precipitation events in the European Alps is expected to
undergo substantial changes with current climate change. Hence, knowledge about the past …

Erosion under climate and human pressures: An alpine lake sediment perspective
We review the scientific efforts over the last decades to reconstruct erosion from continuous
alpine lake sediment records. We focused both on methodological issues, showing the …

Flood stratigraphies in lake sediments: A review
Records of the frequency and magnitude of floods are needed on centennial or millennial
timescales to place increases in their occurrence and intensity into a longer-term context …

Long-term trajectories of mountain agro-ecosystems in the North-Western Alps
Past trajectories of alpine agroecosystems are legacies that we should consider to improve
our understanding of current responses to global environmental changes. By integrating …

Landslides as a geomorphological proxy for climate change: a record from the Dolomites (northern Italy)
This study investigates the relationships between climate changes and hillslope evolution in
the Dolomites (eastern Alps, Italy), during the Late Quaternary, with particular attention paid …

The legacy of metallurgical atmospheric contamination in a mountainous catchment: A delayed response of Pb contamination
Metal-rich fumes emitted during ore smelting contribute to widespread anthropogenic
contamination. Environmental archives (such as lake sediments) record fallouts deposited …

Lake sediments record high intensity shaking that provides insight into the location and rupture length of large earthquakes on the Alpine Fault, New Zealand
Understanding the seismic hazard posed by large earthquakes requires paleoseismic
investigation because most faults have not ruptured repeatedly during the period of historic …
