Post-event forensic survey after a recent catastrophic flash flood in Central Spain: morphosedimentary and hydrodynamic reconstruction Open
Catastrophic flash floods are among the deadliest and most damaging natural processes worldwide. Despite this, they are rarely well recorded in instrumental (e.g. rain gauges, gauging stations) and documentary records (archives and newspap…

More than heavy rain turning into fast-flowing water – a landscape perspective on the 2021 Eifel floods Open
Rapidly evolving floods are rare but powerful drivers of landscape reorganisation that have severe and long-lasting impacts on both the functions of a landscape’s subsystems and the affected society. The July 2021 flood that particularly h…

Exploring the effect of instream boulders on large wood transport combining numerical modelling and field experiments Open
<p>Large and relatively immobile sediment particles (i.e., boulders, usually defined with a diameter greater than 256 mm) are naturally delivered to rivers from hillslopes, transported by extreme floods, or produced by processes such…

Integrated Impact Assessment for Sustainable Hydropower Planning in the Vjosa Catchment (Greece, Albania) Open
Mitigating climate change, while human population and economy are growing globally, requires a bold shift to renewable energy sources. Among renewables, hydropower is currently the most economic and efficient technique. However, due to a l…

Relationship of Weather Types on the Seasonal and Spatial Variability of Rainfall, Runoff, and Sediment Yield in the Western Mediterranean Basin Open
Rainfall is the key factor to understand soil erosion processes, mechanisms, and rates. Most research was conducted to determine rainfall characteristics and their relationship with soil erosion (erosivity) but there is little information …
