Recent precipitation trends, flash floods and landslides in southern Brazil

Recent precipitation trends, flash floods and landslides in southern Brazil

In order to understand the rising number of flash floods and landslides in the densely populated region of southeastern Brazil, this study analyzes the spatial and temporal changes in precipitation from 1978 to 2014. We focus on the sensitivity of mountainous regions, specifically the Rio de Janeiro...
