The impacts of climate change on river flood risk at the global scale (2014)
Journal Article
Arnell, N., & Gosling, S. N. (2016). The impacts of climate change on river flood risk at the global scale. Climatic Change, 134(3), 387-401. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-014-1084-5

This paper presents an assessment of the implications of climate change for global river flood risk. It is based on the estimation of flood frequency relationships at a grid resolution of 0.5×0.5°, using a global hydrological model with climate scena...

Hydrological droughts in the 21st century, hotspots and uncertainties from a global multimodel ensemble experiment (2014)
Journal Article
Prudhomme, C., Giuntoli, I., Robinson, E. L., Clark, D. B., Arnell, N. W., Dankers, R., …Wisser, D. (2014). Hydrological droughts in the 21st century, hotspots and uncertainties from a global multimodel ensemble experiment. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3262-3267. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1222473110

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are expected to modify the global water cycle with significant consequences for terrestrial hydrology. We assess the impact of climate change on hydrological droughts in a multimodel exp...

First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble (2014)
Journal Article
Dankers, R., Arnell, N. W., Clark, D. B., Falloon, P. D., Fekete, B. M., Gosling, S. N., …Wisser, D. (2014). First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3257-3261. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1302078110

Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation events, which is likely to affect the probability of flooding into the future. In this paper we use river flow simulatio... Read More about First look at changes in flood hazard in the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ensemble.

A glossary for biometeorology (2014)
Journal Article
Gosling, S. N., Bryce, E. K., Dixon, P. G., Gabriel, K. M., Gosling, E. Y., Hanes, J. M., …Wanka, E. R. (2014). A glossary for biometeorology. International Journal of Biometeorology, 58(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00484-013-0729-9

Here we present, for the first time, a glossary of biometeorological terms. The glossary aims to address the need for a reliable source of biometeorological definitions, thereby facilitating communication and mutual understanding in this rapidly expa...

Global-scale climate impact functions: the relationship between climate forcing and impact (2014)
Journal Article
Arnell, N., Brown, S., Gosling, S. N., Hinkel, J., Huntingford, C., Lloyd-Hughes, B., …Zelazowski, P. (2014). Global-scale climate impact functions: the relationship between climate forcing and impact. Climatic Change, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-013-1034-7

Although there is a strong policy interest in the impacts of climate change corresponding to different degrees of climate change, there is so far little consistent empirical evidence of the relationship between climate forcing and impact. This is bec... Read More about Global-scale climate impact functions: the relationship between climate forcing and impact.
