Cévennes mountains and its piedmont are Mediterranean environments extending from 1700 meters summits to coastline. The climate is characterised by summer droughts that last several months and extreme rainfall events occurring in autumn and spring. Current climate predictions point to an intensification of these extremes events. To assess the...

Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) are now recognized to support specific freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem services and represent approximately half of the global river network, a fraction that is likely to increase in the context of global changes. Despite large research efforts on IRES during the past few decades, there is...

The objectives of the FloodScale project were to progress in the knowledge, understanding and simulation of hydrological processes leading to flash floods in the Mediterranean area. These flash floods and the rainfall events that trigger them lead, each year, to fatalities and a large amount of damage in this region, but processes leading to...

A comprehensive hydrometeorological dataset is presented spanning the period 1 January 2011-31 December 2014 to improve the understanding of the hydrological processes leading to flash floods and the relation between rainfall, runoff, erosion and sediment transport in a mesoscale catchment (Auzon, 116 km 2) of the Mediterranean region. Badlands...
