Twenty-first-century demographic and social inequalities of heat-related deaths...
Santos, Djacinto Monteiro dos; Libonati, Renata; Garcia, Beatriz N.; Geirinhas, João L.; Salvi, Barbara Bresani; Silva, Eliane Lima ePopulation exposure to heat waves (HWs) is increasing worldwide due to climate change, significantly affecting society, including public health. Despite its significant vulnerabilities and limited adaptation resources to rising temperatures, South America, particularly Brazil, lacks research on the health impacts of temperature extremes, especially on the role played by socioeconomic factors in the risk of heat...
Understanding the Atlantic influence on climate and vegetation dynamics in west...
Santos, Ricardo N.; Rodrigues, Teresa; Naughton, Filipa; Schefuß, Enno; Oliveira, Dulce; Moreno, João; Raposeiro, Pedro M.; Gil-Romera, GracielaPredicting the environmental impact of climate change in extremely sensitive areas, like western Iberia, requires an understanding of the long-term interactions between climate and vegetation. Here we present a novel hightemporal resolution multiproxy analysis, including plant-wax n-alkane isotope data, pollen analysis, macrocharcoal identification, chironomid and diatom records of sediments from a mountain lak...
The timing of the deglaciation in the Atlantic Iberian mountains: Insights from...
Hernández, Armand; Sáez, Alberto; Santos, Ricardo N.; Rodrigues, Teresa; Martin‐Puertas, Celia; Gil‐Romera, Graciela; Abbott, Mark; Carballeira, RafaelUnderstanding the environmental response to the last glacial termination in regions located in transitional climate zones such as the Atlantic Iberian mountains is crucial to estimate potential changes in regions affected by current glacial melting. We present an 8.5 m-long, solid last deglaciation and Holocene chronostratigraphic record including detailed sediment analysis from Lake Peix˜ao, a pro-glacial lake...

Assessing the role played by meteorological conditions on the interannual varia...
Nunes, Sílvia A.; DaCamara, Carlos C.; Pereira, José M. C.; Trigo, Ricardo M.The Iberian Peninsula is recurrently affected by severe wildfires resulting from an interplay of human activities, landscape features and atmospheric conditions. Aims. The role played by atmospheric conditions on wildfire activity in 2001–2020 is assessed in four pyror- egions of the Iberian Peninsula. Methods. Wildfire activity is characterised by Fire Radiative Power (FRP) and meteorological danger is rated b...

Impact of extreme rainfall events on landslide activity in Portugal under clima...
Araújo, Joana R.; Ramos, Alexandre M.; Soares, Pedro M.M.; Melo, Raquel; Oliveira, Sérgio C.; Trigo, Ricardo M.Rainfall is considered the most important physical process for landslide triggering in Portugal. It is expected that changes in the precipitation regimes in the region, as a direct consequence of climate change, will have influence in the occurrence of extreme rainfall events that will be more frequently, throughout the century. The aim of this study relied on the assessment of the projected future changes in t...
Landslide events in Portugal under future climate change scenarios
Araújo, Joana; Ramos, Alexandre M.; Soares, Pedro M.M.; Melo, Raquel; Oliveira, Sérgio C.; Trigo, Ricardo M.It is expected that landslide events will occur more frequently, throughout the century, as a direct consequence of climate change. The main triggering factor, over Portugal mainland, is extreme precipitation. Thus, the aim of this study relied on the assessment of the projected future changes in the extreme precipitation over Portugal mainland and quantifying the correlation between extreme rainfall events and...
BeSafeSlide – A Landslide early warning soft technology prototype to improve co...
Oliveira, Sérgio C.; Zêzere, José L.; Trigo, Ricardo M.; Marques, Fernando; Tavares, Alexandre; Marques, Rui; Ramos, Alexandre M.; Melo, RaquelAs observed worldwide during the last decades, landslides are one of the deadliest natural hazards in mainland Portugal and Azores archipelago being responsible for significant direct and indirect societal and economic losses, justifying the implementation of a landslide early warning system at the regional scale. The BeSafeSlide project aims to develop and implement a soft technology/low-cost prototype for pre...
