Study Region : The upper Jordan River is the major water resource in Israel, a country which suffers from increasing shortage of natural water resources.Study Focus : In this study, we apply for the first time to this area an approach based on an ensemble of regional climate models, verify their trends vs. observations for a control period and use ...
Ce rapport présente les estimations de débits effectuées suite aux crues du 15 octobre 2018 qui ont touché le bassin intermédiaire de l'Aude. Ces crues ont causé de très importants dégâts et fait 14 victimes dans le département. Une enquête de terrain post-crue a été menée et a permis de produire 25 estimations de débits de pointe sur les différent...

In this paper, we present two R packages, airGR and airGRteaching, which are aimed at hydrological modeling. These two open-source packages allow for undertaking simplified simulations of surface flows on river catchments, based on lumped rainfall-runoff models that require few input data. airGR can be used for engineering, research and education p...
A potential human footprint on Western Central African rainforests before the Common Era has become the focus of an ongoing controversy. Between 3,000 y ago and 2,000 y ago, regional pollen sequences indicate a replacement of mature rainforests by a forest–savannah mosaic including pioneer trees. Although some studies suggested an anthropogenic inf...

After an introduction to the traditional flood frequency analysis methods, this article discusses their limits and the risks associated with their thoughtless use: overconfidence in the estimated values of flood quantiles or return periods and systematic underestimation of risks. The article then presents and illustrates the added value of modern B...
The Cévennes-Vivarais region in southern France is prone to heavy rainfall that can lead to flash floods which are one of the most hazardous natural risks in Europe. The results of numerous studies show that besides rainfall and physical catchment characteristics the catchment's initial soil moisture also impacts the hydrological response to rain e...
