Abstract. Flood estimation and flood management have traditionally been the domain of hydrologists, water resources engineers statisticians, disciplinary approaches abound. Dominant views shaped; one example is catchment perspective: floods are formed influenced by interaction local, catchment-specific characteristics, such as meteorology, topography geology. These traditional beneficial, but they a narrow framing. In this paper we contrast with broader perspectives that emerging from an...

ABSTRACT A succession of 23 sub‐millimetre to maximum 12‐mm‐thick, mostly flood‐triggered detrital layers, deposited between 1976 and 2005, was analysed in 12 varved surface sediment cores from meso‐scale peri‐alpine Lake Mondsee applying microfacies high‐resolution micro X‐ray fluorescence analyses. Detailed intrabasin comparison these layers enabled identification (i) different source areas sediments, (ii) flux local erosion events, (iii) seasonal differences suspended flood distribution...
Abstract. Neolithic and Bronze Age lake dwellings in the European Alps became recently protected under UNESCO World Heritage. However, only little is known about cultural history of related pre-historic communities, their adaptation strategies to environmental changes particularly almost synchronous decline many these settlements around transition from Late Early Age. For example, there an ongoing debate whether abandonment at Lake Mondsee (Upper Austria) was caused by unfavourable climate...

Abstract. The European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA) is an association of leading research institutions in the field climate (http://www.ecra-climate.eu/, last access: 6 December 2018). ECRA a bottom-up initiative and helps to facilitate development change research, combining capacities national institutions, inducing closer ties between existing initiatives, projects infrastructures. works as open platform bring together researchers, providing excellent scientific expertise for policy...
Flooding is a ubiquitous natural hazard, and climate change likely to exacerbate the risks worldwide. Mountainous areas, such as densely populated Alps, are of particular concern because topography atmospheric conditions can lead large, flash floods, they experiencing high rate warming, which will result in more intense precipitation events.In his latest publication, Bruno Wilhelm colleagues have compiled 33 paleoflood records test impact that these trends might on frequency magnitude floods...
