Climate shifts the timing of European floods
A link between climate change and floods has been identified at a European scale using a flood dataset containing over 4700 river basins. A study led by TU Vienna and 30 European partners including the Hydrology Group at ETH Zurich published in Science shows that the timing of floods has shifted across much of Europe in the last 50 years.
How much rain does it take to cause a landslide?
A new study on thresholds for rainfall induced landslides published in Water Resources Research investigates the predictability of landsliding from daily gridded precipitation data and a cross-country landslide inventory in Switzerland.
