TL;DR: Analysis of a comprehensive European flood dataset reveals regional changes in river flood discharges in the past five decades that are broadly consistent with climate model projections for the next century, suggesting that climate-driven changes are already happening and supporting calls for the consideration of climate change in flood risk management.

TL;DR: It is shown that the past three decades were among the most flood- rich periods in Europe in the past 500 years, and that this period differs from other flood-rich periods in terms of its extent, air temperatures and flood seasonality.

TL;DR: There are opportunities for extending classification methods to include indicators of space–time dynamics of rainfall, antecedent wetness, and routing effects, which will make the classification schemes even more useful for understanding and estimating floods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a non-stationary regional flood frequency approach consisting of a regional Gumbel distribution, whose median and growth factor can vary in time with different strengths for different catchment sizes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new framework for attributing flood changes to potential drivers, as a function of return period (T ), in a regional context, where flood peaks were assumed to follow a non-stationary regional Gumbel distribution, where the median flood and the 100-year growth factor were used as parameters.
