TL;DR: In this paper, a new proxy-based, annually-resolved, spatial reconstruction of the European summer (June-August) temperature fields back to 755 CE based on Bayesian hierarchical modeling (BHM), together with estimates of European mean temperature variation since 138 BCE based on BHM and composite-plus-scaling (CPS).

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
The largest floods in the High Rhine basin since 1268 assessed from documentary and instrumental evidence
TL;DR: The magnitudes of the largest known floods of the River Rhine in Basel since 1268 were assessed using a hydraulic model drawing on a set of pre-instrumental evidence and daily hydrological measurements from 1808 as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, historical, botanical, and geological archives have increasingly been recognized as valuable sources of extreme flood event information, with a particular focus on the recording mechanisms of flood information, the historical development of the methodological approaches and the type of information that those archives can provide.
