Event deposits in lake sediments provide invaluable chronicles of geodynamic and climatic
natural hazards on multi-millennial timescales. Sediment archives are particularly useful for …

Extreme storm events in the coastal zone are one of the main forcing agents of short-term
coastal system behavior. As such, storms represent a major threat to human activities …

Short-lived radionuclides are measured in surface sediment to provide a geochronology for
the past century. Age-depth models are produced from 210 Pb ex activity-derived …

A high-resolution record of paleostorm events along the French Mediterranean coast over
the past 7000 years was established from a lagoonal sediment core in the Gulf of Lions …

Agricultural pesticide use has increased worldwide during the last several decades, but the
long-term fate, storage, and transfer dynamics of pesticides in a changing environment are …

River flooding triggered by extreme rainfall events is a major natural hazard that frequently
causes fatalities and damages in southeastern France. A 2000-year record of flooding from …

This study presents the results of paleo-tsunami investigation in marshes of the southern
and eastern coasts of Martinique Island (Lesser Antilles, France). A sand unit dated 1726 …

Abstract The Lesser Antilles are a densely populated region where local populations and
industrial facilities are concentrated at the coastlines, and are therefore exposed to many …

Lake La Thuile, in the Northern French Prealps (874 m asl), provides an 18-m long
sedimentary sequence spanning the entire Lateglacial/Holocene period. The high …

The sedimentary processes in the deep basin of large peri‐Alpine lakes have not been
studied much on long timescales due to high coring complexity of such lake systems. In …
