Abstract The climate of South America (SA) has long held an intimate connection with El
Niño, historically describing anomalously warm sea-surface temperatures off the coastline of …

Owing to the extraordinary latitudinal extent, a strong orographic variability with very high
mountain tops, and the presence of deep valleys and steep slopes, the Andes and the …

Landslides are a ubiquitous hazard in terrestrial environments with slopes, incurring human
fatalities in urban settlements, along transport corridors and at sites of rural industry …

Inter-related and spatially variable climate change factors including sea level rise, increased
storminess, altered precipitation regime and increasing temperature are impacting …

A changing climate can lead to changes in the frequency, intensity or duration of an extreme
event, or result in an 3 unprecedented, previously unobserved, extreme. As well, a weather …

We analyse seasonal and annual trends of extreme indices of air temperature and
precipitation over Brazil during the period 1961–2018. The main goal is to investigate …

Land use and land cover change (LUCC) affects regional climate through modifications in
the water balance and energy budget. These impacts are frequently expressed by: changes …

The frequency and duration of flooding events is increasing due to land-use changes
increasing run-off of precipitation, and climate change causing more intense rainfall events …

This paper reviews recent progress made in our understanding of the functioning and
variability of the South American Monsoon System (SAMS) on time scales varying from …

The present paper aims of computing climatology and trend analysis of occurrence and
intensity of extreme events of precipitation in subregions of Northeast Brazil (NEB). We used …
