Modelling the influence of variability on the sediment dynamics in Canal Emilio Mitre: A study on the effect of climate, deepening and wind scenarios on a navigation channel through the Rio de la Plata estuary

Canal Emilio Mitre is a navigation channel that runs through the Rio de la Plata estuary in South America. It grants access to the second largest inland waterway system in South America, covering (parts of) Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia. The channel is a main bottleneck for navigation for two reasons; the channel has a...

Including stochastic rainfall distributions in a probabilistic modelling approach for compound flooding due to tropical cyclones: A case study for Houston, Texas

Hurricanes impose great threats on coastal communities in terms of hazard and impact. Recent hurricanes like Harvey (Texas, 2017) and Idai (Mozambique, 2019) emphasize the global character of this threat. In the U.S., Hurricane Harvey tied with 2005's Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone on record, inflicting $125 billion in...
