UK estuarine environments are regulated by inter-acting physical processes, including tidal,
wave, surge, river discharge and sediment supply. They regulate the fluxes of nutrients …

This chapter assesses the current state of knowledge of the rate of change of global-
averaged and regional sea-level in relation to climate change. We focus on the 20th and …

Precipitation in the Alpine Region in: Journal of Climate Volume 14 Issue 7 (2001) Jump to …

Extreme weather and climate events have wide ranging impacts on society as well as on
biophysical systems. That society, on occasions, is unable to cope with extreme weather and …

Between 1983 and 2005, continuous oceanic CO2 observations at two time series sites in
the North Atlantic Ocean near Bermuda indicate that surface seawater dissolved inorganic …

Estonia has a long (3,800 km) coastline due to numerous peninsulas, bays and islands
(over 1,500). Owing to its flat and low-lying coastal zone, which is experiencing isostatic and …

Policy makers and stakeholders are increasingly demanding impact assessments which
produce policy-relevant guidance on the local impacts of global climate change. The …

Accurate assessment of the magnitude and frequency of extreme wind speed is of
fundamental importance for many safety, engineering and reinsurance applications. We …

A statistical model to analyze different time scales of the variability of extreme high sea
levels is presented. This model uses a time-dependent generalized extreme value (GEV) …

Hourly time series from a quasi‐global set of 145 tide gauges are used to investigate annual
maximum water levels at each station. High water levels are deconstructed into (1) a …
