Association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks in four Nordic countries, 1992-2012
(2016)We conducted a matched case-control study to examine the association between heavy precipitation events and waterborne outbreaks (WBOs) by linking epidemiological registries and meteorological data between 1992 and 2012 ... -
Bouncing Back from Extreme Weather Events: Some Preliminary Findings on Resilience Barriers Facing Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
(2018)Extreme weather events (EWEs) pose unprecedented threats to modern societies and represent a much-debated issue strongly interlinked with current development policies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which ... -
Brain diseases in changing climate
(2019)Climate change is one of the biggest and most urgent challenges for the 21st century. Rising average temperatures and ocean levels, altered precipitation patterns and increased occurrence of extreme weather events affect ... -
Detection of future changes in seasonality in extreme short-term rainfall in selected stations of Slovakia
(2017)This paper analyses the projected changes in short-term rainfall events during the warm season (April-October) in an ensemble of 30 regional climate model (RCM) simulations. The seasonality analysis was done for the ... -
Detection of future changes in trends and scaling exponents in extreme short-term rainfall at selected stations in Slovakia
(2018)This paper analyses projected changes in short-term rainfall events during the warm season (April - October) in an ensemble of 30 regional climate model (RCM) simulations. The analysis of trend changes and changes in scaling ... -
Inter-comparison of statistical downscaling methods for projection of extreme flow indices across Europe
(2016)The effect of methods of statistical downscaling of daily precipitation on changes in extreme flow indices under a plausible future climate change scenario was investigated in 11 catchments selected from 9 countries in ... -
Inter-comparison of statistical downscaling methods for projection of extreme precipitation in Europe
(2015)Information on extreme precipitation for future climate is needed to assess the changes in the frequency and intensity of flooding. The primary source of information in climate change impact studies is climate model ... -
Investigating resilience barriers of small and medium-sized enterprises to flash floods: a quantile regression of determining factors
(2020)Flash floods continue a trend of costly disasters attributed to changing weather patterns and climate disruptions. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) are more vulnerable and ill-prepared to flash flooding, compared ... -
Joint modelling of flood peaks and volumes: A copula application for the Danube River
(2016)Flood frequency analysis is usually performed as a univariate analysis of flood peaks using a suitable theoretical probability distribution of the annual maximum flood peaks or peak over threshold values. However, other ... -
Overview of existing heat-health warning systems in Europe
(2019)The frequency of extreme heat events, such as the summer of 2003 in Europe, and their corresponding consequences for human beings are expected to increase under a warmer climate. The joint collaboration of institutional ... -

Risk management framework of environmental hazards and extremes in Mediterranean ecosystems
(2021)Risk assessment constitutes the first part within the risk management framework and involves evaluating the importance of a risk, either quantitatively or qualitatively. Risk assessment consists of three steps, namely risk ...
