Unveiling the role of storm surges as a driver of flooding on the western Mediterranean: a case study of the Ebro Delta Open
Storm surges in the Western Mediterranean are generally low in magnitude, making their contribution to coastal flooding less significant compared to wave overtopping. Nonetheless, low-lying, sheltered coasts such as deltas and wetlands, wh…

Synoptic weather patterns conducive to compound extreme rainfall–wave events in the NW Mediterranean Open
The NW Mediterranean coast is highly susceptible to the impacts of extreme rainstorms and coastal storms, which often lead to flash floods, coastal erosion, and flooding across a highly urbanised territory. Often, these storms occur simult…
