Centennial-scale flood cyclicity in the second half of Holocene in the southeast Tunisian sediments: paleoenvironmental region gauge between the western and eastern Mediterranean
A detailed mid to late Holocene sedimentary infilling history of salt lakes situated on the northern edge of the Jeffara coastal plain (southeastern Tunisia) is presented. This work builds upon the findings of...

Some morphometric criteria for the identification of small wader remains (Recurvirostridae, Haematopodidae, Charadriidae, Scolopacidae) from archaeological sites in continental Northwestern Europe
Osteological remains of small waders of the order Charadriiformes are regularly found in archaeological sites in Europe. Due to high taxonomic diversity, the rarity of some species in reference collections, an...

Open AccessAssessing observational constraints on future European climate in an out-of-sample framework
Observations are increasingly used to constrain multi-model projections for future climate assessments. This study assesses the performance of five constraining methods, which have previously been applied to a...

Suitability of satellite-based rainfall products for estimating rainfall erosivity in areas with contrasted climate and terrain properties: Example of west-central Morocco
This study aims to assess the accuracy of three satellite-derived products (IMERG-F, CHIRPS and PERSIANN CDR) in quantifying the erosivity of rainfall. A network of 14 gauge stations is utilized to estimate th...

Underestimated volcanic hazard of Santorini
Volcanism after large, caldera-forming eruptions is thought to be muted. Exploration of the partially submerged caldera of Santorini reveals that large explosive eruptions have occurred since the caldera formed.

Open AccessDevelopment of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) relations for dual-polarization radars based on raindrop size distribution measurements in Metro Manila, Philippines
Quantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) can be further improved using estimation algorithms derived from localized raindrop size distribution (DSD) observations. In this study, DSD measurements from two dis...

Atmospheric methane variability through the Last Glacial Maximum and deglaciation mainly controlled by tropical sources
Constraining the causes of past atmospheric methane variability is important for understanding links between methane and climate. Abrupt methane changes during the last deglaciation have been intensely studied...

Transformation of olivine to diopside via interaction with carbonatite melts
Numerous empirical and experimental studies have documented the consumption of orthopyroxene and production of clinopyroxene in mantle peridotite during carbonatite metasomatism, whereas little attention has b...

Open AccessFlood Modeling and Prediction Using Earth Observation Data
The ability to map floods from satellites has been known for over 40 years. Early images of floods were rather difficult to obtain, and flood map** from satellites was thus rather opportunistic and limited t...

Novel protection systems for the improvement in soil and water stability of expansive soil slopes
To improve the soil and water stability of expansive soil slopes and reduce the probability of slope failure, novel protection systems based on polymer waterproof coatings (PWC) were used in this study. Herein...

Open AccessShallow-water hydrothermal venting linked to the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum
The Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) was a global warming event of 5–6 °C around 56 million years ago caused by input of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere. Hydrothermal venting of greenhouse gases p...
