Flooding along the river Will a warming climate affect floods? The prevailing sentiment is yes, but consistent signal in flood magnitudes has not been found. Blöschl et al. analyzed timing of floods Europe over past 50 years and found clear patterns changes that can be ascribed to effects (see Perspective by Slater Wilby). These variations include earlier spring snowmelt northeastern Europe, later winter around North Sea parts Mediterranean coast owing delayed storms, western caused soil...
Abstract. There is growing concern that flooding becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A better understanding of flood regime changes their drivers therefore needed. The paper reviews the current knowledge on European rivers has traditionally been obtained through two alternative research approaches. first approach data-based detection observed events. Current methods are reviewed together with challenges opportunities. For example, observation biases, merging different data sources...
Abstract Research gaps in understanding flood changes at the catchment scale caused by forest management, agricultural practices, artificial drainage, and terracing are identified. Potential strategies addressing these proposed, such as complex systems approaches to link processes across time scales, long‐term experiments on physical‐chemical‐biological process interactions, a focus connectivity patterns spatial scales. It is suggested that will stimulate new research coherently addresses...
Abstract. Recent studies have revealed evidence of trends in the median or mean flood discharge Europe over last 5 decades, with clear and coherent regional patterns. The aim this study is to assess whether discharges also occurred for larger return periods, accounting effect catchment scale. We analyse 2370 records, selected from a newly available pan-European database, record length at least 40 years period 1960–2010 contributing area ranging 100 000 km2. To estimate trends, we use...
This study analyses the differences in significant trends magnitude and frequency of floods detected annual maximum flood (AMF) peak over threshold (POT) series, for period 1965–2005. Flood peaks are identified from European daily discharge data using a baseflow-based algorithm AMF series compared with those POT derived six different exceedence thresholds. The results show that more than magnitude. Spatially coherent patterns detected, which further investigated by stratifying into five...
Abstract. This paper revisits a widely cited study of the Boyne catchment in east Ireland that attributed greater streamflow from mid-1970s to increased precipitation linked shift North Atlantic Oscillation. Using method multiple working hypotheses we explore wider set potential drivers hydrological change. Rainfall–runoff models are used reconstruct isolate effect climate, taking account both model structure and parameter uncertainty. The Mann–Kendall test for monotonic trend Pettitt change...
Abstract. The current work addresses one of the key building blocks towards an improved understanding flood processes and associated changes in characteristics regimes Europe: development a comprehensive, extensive European database. presented results from ongoing cross-border research collaborations initiated with data collection joint interpretation mind. A detailed account state, spatial temporal coverage Flood Database, is presented. At this stage, hydrological still growing consists at...
Abstract. In Europe, floods are typically analysed within national boundaries and it is therefore not well understood how the characteristics of local fit into a continental perspective. To gain better understanding at scale, this study analyses seasonal flood across Europe for period 1960–2010. From European database, timing year annual maximum discharges or water levels 4105 stations analysed. A cluster analysis performed to identify large-scale regions with distinct seasons based on...
Abstract. A continuous 305-year (1711–2016) monthly rainfall series (IoI_1711) is created for the Island of Ireland. The post 1850 draws on an existing quality assured network Ireland, while pre-1850 values come from instrumental and documentary compiled, but not published by UK Met Office. evaluated comparison with independent long-term observations reconstructions precipitation, temperature circulation indices across British–Irish Isles. Strong decadal consistency IoI_1711 other evident...
Abstract This paper introduces a reference hydrometric network for Ireland and examines the derived flow archive evidence of climate-driven trends in mean high river flows. The Mann-Kendall Theil-Sen tests are applied to eight hydroclimatic indicators fixed variable (start end date) records. Spatial coherence similarities with rainfall suggest they climate driven; however, large temporal variability makes it difficult discern widely-expected anthropogenic change signals at this point time....
Abstract Globally, few precipitation records extend to the 18th century. The England Wales Precipitation (EWP) series is a notable exception with continuous monthly from 1766. EWP has found widespread use across diverse fields of research including trend detection, evaluation climate model simulations, as proxy for mid‐latitude atmospheric circulation, predictor in long‐term European gridded data sets, assessment drought and extremes, tree‐ring reconstructions benchmark other regional...
Few fast-swimming apex fishes are classified as ‘regional endotherms’, having evolved a relatively uncommon suite of traits (e.g. elevated body temperatures, centralised red muscle, and thick-walled hearts) thought to facilitate fast, predatory lifestyle. Unlike those predators, Endangered basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus massive filter-feeding planktivores assumed have the anatomy physiology typical fully ectothermic fishes. We combined dissections stranded specimens with biologging...

Satellite tracking of endangered or threatened animals can facilitate informed conservation by revealing priority areas for their protection. Basking sharks Cetorhinus maximus (n = 11) were tagged during the summers 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017 in Isle Man (IoM; median duration 378 d, range: 89-804 d; minimum straight-line distance travelled 541 km, 170-10406 km). Tracking revealed 3 movement patterns: (1) coastal movements within IoM Irish waters, (2) summer northward to Scotland (3)...
