TL;DR: In this paper, an intensive data compilation has been carried out for seven European hydrometeorological regions to assess the possible ranges for peak discharges on watersheds with area smaller than 500 km2 and to describe the geography of the hazard across Europe.

TL;DR: It is concluded that future research in the field of soil Salinisation should be focused on among others carbon dynamics of saline soil, further exploration of remote sensing of soil properties and the harmonization and enrichment of soil salinity maps across Europe within a general context of a soil threat monitoring system to support policies and strategies for the protection of European soils.

TL;DR: In this article, using ensemble hydrological simulations, the authors show that climate change could reduce water storage in many regions, especially those in the Southern Hemisphere, and highlight the importance of climate change mitigation to avoid adverse water storage impacts and increased droughts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the key issues in research on climate change impacts on droughts, with a specific focus on the Mediterranean region, in order to: i) redefine more meaningful drought metrics tailored to the Mediterranean context, better take into account vegetation and its feedback on dunes, improve the modelling and forecasting of drought events through remote sensing and land surface models, and promote a more integrated vision of dunes taking into account both water availability and water use.

TL;DR: New higher resolution climate projections by the HadGEM3A Atmosphere Global Climate Model using prescribed time varying SSTs and sea ice, provided by a range of CMIP5 climate models under RCP8.5 are examined to examine the benefit of the improved representation of atmospheric processes in the dryland research.
