Floods in the Venice city centre result from the superposition of several factors: astronomical
tides, seiches and atmospherically forced fluctuations, which include storm surges …

River flood risk in Europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and
continued development in flood-prone areas. Here, we appraise the potential of four key …

While climate change will alter the distribution of water in time and space, quantifications of
drought risk under global warming remain uncertain. Here, we show that in Europe, drought …

Severe, extreme, and exceptional heat waves, such as those that occurred over the Balkans
(2007), France (2003), or Russia (2010), are associated with increased mortality, human …

Coastal zones are among the most complex and dynamic areas on earth. Many marine and
hydrologic processes act individually or combined in these areas and can lead to extreme …

The world's coastal areas are increasingly at risk of coastal flooding due to sea-level rise
(SLR). We present a novel global dataset of extreme sea levels, the Coastal Dataset for the …

In this study we conducted a comprehensive modeling analysis to identify global trends in
extreme wave energy flux (WEF) along coastlines in the 21st century under a high emission …

This study provides a literature‐based comparative assessment of uncertainties and biases
in global to world‐regional scale assessments of current and future coastal flood risks …

Flooding is the most costly natural hazard in Europe. Climatic and socioeconomic change
are expected to further increase the amount of loss in the future. To counteract this …

Evolving climate conditions and anthropogenic factors, such as CO 2 emissions,
urbanization and population growth, can cause changes in weather and climate extremes …
