Inorganic geochemistry is a powerful tool in paleolimnology. It has become one of the most
commonly used techniques to analyze lake sediments, particularly due to the development …

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

Flooding is a pervasive natural hazard—costly in both human and economic terms—and
climate change will probably exacerbate risks around the world. Mountainous areas, such …

Abstract The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the major source of variability in winter
atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere, with large impacts on temperature …

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 …

Flood estimation and flood management have traditionally been the domain of hydrologists,
water resources engineers and statisticians, and disciplinary approaches abound. Dominant …

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 …

Mediterranean fluvial hydrology is characterised by decadal-to-multi-centennial length wet
and dry episodes with abrupt transitions related to changes in atmospheric circulation. Since …

River flooding is among the most destructive of natural hazards globally, causing
widespread loss of life, damage to infrastructure and economic deprivation. Societies are …

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 …
