New paper: Trends in British flooding linked to increased settlement/exposure in flood zones. No trend when that factor is removed. ~~ phys.org/news/2014-08-result-higher-exposure.html eprints.soton.ac.uk/367448/7/02626667.2014.950581 There is an increase in the number of reported flood events over time associated with an increased exposure to flooding as floodplain areas were developed. The data was de-trended for exposure, using population and dwelling house data. The adjusted record shows no trend in reported flooding over time, but there is significant decade to decade variability. --Andrew J. Stevens et al., Hydrological Sciences Journal, DOI: 10.1080/02626667.2014.950581
