Climate‐change driven increased flood magnitudes and frequency in the British uplands: geomorphologically informed scientific underpinning for upland flood‐risk management
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.5206
Abstract: Upland river systems in the UK are predicted to be prone to the effects of increased flood magnitudes and frequency, driven by climate change. It is clear from recent events that some headwater catchments can… read more here.
