Moisture sources during hydrological extremes in the Midwestern United States
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2024-05-01

Changes in hydrological extremes and climate variability in the Severn Uplands
Hydrological extremes within the UK have increased in intensity, frequency and<br/>persistence over recent years and are predicted to increase in variability throughout the 21st<br/>century. Past and future changes in hydrological extremes relative to climate change were<br/>investigated within …

Plant productivity and diversity in coastal wetlands in Mississippi – impact of hydrological extremes
… ecosystem services and are threatened by extreme hydrological events. I evaluated how diversion of freshwater like Bonnet Carré Spillway openings in Louisiana, US, affected vegetation productivity and diversity in salt marshes on the neighboring Mississippi Gulf Coast, US. My study area is two …

Modelling of environmental change impacts on water resources and hydrological extremes in Germany
… on the modeling results of the process-based eco-hydrological model SWIM (Soil and Water Integrated Model) driven by various regional climate scenarios on one hand. On the other hand, it is supported by statistical analysis on long-term trends of observed and simulated time series. In addition, …

Potential impacts of climate change on hydrological extremes in the Incomati River Basin
… potential impacts of climate change on extreme hydrological events that induce flood in the Incomati River Basin (IRB). A series of climate and hydrological simulation datasets were analysed for the study. The climate simulation datasets were acquired from the Global Meteorological Forcing …

Assessment of Future Impact of Climate Change on Structural Protections and Hydrological Extremes – Floods
… forecast the frequency and intensity of random hydrological factors for efficient flood management. This study centres on modelling the performance of the flood protection system in New Zealand’s Manawatu region. The modelling framework prioritizes rainfall as the primary driver of flood flow …

Assessment of the influence of Nonstationary Climate on Extreme Hydrology of Southwestern Canada
… time, the region’s resilience to the impacts of hydrological extremes, floods and droughts is challenged by the increasing frequency of these extreme events. In addition, increased winter temperatures over the past century have led to declines in winter snowpack and caused earlier snowmelt, …

Dynamics of two South African floodplain forests
… migrating river channels and ameliorate hydrological extremes. Concern is growing over the degradation of riparian environments through upstream abstraction, impoundments, altered flood regimes and increased incidence of low flows. These processes may lead to subtle or significant …

Exploring the Hydroclimatology of Floods: From Detection to Attribution
… to advance process understanding through linking hydrological extremes to large-scale climate drivers. In Ireland, recent years have highlighted vulnerability to flooding yet little research has been undertaken exploring hydroclimatic signatures of change in extremes at different scales, in part …

A Dendroclimatic Investigation of Southwestern Saskatchewan
… water resources has increased vulnerability to hydrological drought. Because few instrumental records exceed 100 years, climate proxies are used to extend the historical record of natural variability. Understanding the frequency, magnitude, and duration of past climate extremes allows …

Mid- to Late Holocene flood reconstruction from two varved sediment profiles of pre-alpine Lake Ammersee (Southern Germany)
Climate is the principal driving force of hydrological extremes like floods and attributing generating mechanisms is an essential prerequisite for understanding past, present, and future flood variability. Successively enhanced radiative forcing under global warming enhances atmospheric …
