We disentangle the relationships between streamflow and large-scale atmospheric
circulation in Central Europe (CE), an area affected by climatic influences from different …

This study focuses on an assessment of the future snow depth for two larger Alpine
catchments. Automatic weather station data from two diverse regions in the Swiss Alps have …

Hydropower accounts for about 20% of the worldwide electrical power production. In
mountainous regions this ratio is significantly higher. In this study we present how future …

Climate and environmental changes associated with anthropogenic global warming are
being increasingly identified in the European Alps, as seen by changes in long-term high …

Snow stores a significant amount of water in mountain regions. The decrease of water
storage in the snowpack can have relevant impacts on water supply for mountain and …

The climatic conditions of mountain habitats are greatly influenced by topography. Large
differences in microclimate occur with small changes in elevation, and this complex …

Accurate and precise chronologies are essential in understanding the rapid and recurrent
climate variations of the Last Glacial–known as Dansgaard-Oeschger (DO) events–found in …

Suspended sediment export from large Alpine catchments (> 1000 km 2) over decadal
timescales is sensitive to a number of factors, including long-term variations in climate, the …

Mediterranean basins are known for their susceptibility to water stress conditions resulting
from a reduction in winter-season precipitation. This region is also prone to the effects of the …

This study analyzes daily mean streamflow records from 5,311 US Geological Survey stream
gages in the continental United States and develops a Metastatistical Extreme Value …
