IP: Juan Antonio Ballesteros Canovas; Lothar Schulte . (27 Investigadors) . The PAGES Floods Working Group (FWG) aims to coordinate, synthesize and promote data and results on the natural variability of paleofloods. The overarching aim of the second phase of FWG is to follow up on the promotion and strength of the interdisciplinary collaboration started during the group's first phase, and more specifically, to develop the targets identified in each Work Package. The goals of the second phase are: i) To intensify efforts to collect, standardize and disseminate the collaborative Flood Database; ii) To integrate pluri-archive flood time series and to share best practices of methodologies to statistically analyze paleoflood data; iii) To improve engagement with stakeholders and policymakers. Lothar Schulte, Professor of the University of Barcelona, is the leading coordinator of the Workpackage 2 'Integrating and analyzing paleoflood data'.

Alpine flood histories and climate change: Grebe Valley, Fiordland (Sense especificar) . 2017 - 2018 . Ref.56588-GEO . Massey University Research Fund . IP: Ian C. Fuller . (6 Investigadors) . The project investigates floods in the Southern Alps, where proxy data from sedimentary records such as flood plain deposits and lake sediments, lichens and tree rings, can provide data for the study of the potential effects of climatic changes on alpine floods outside the known range of extreme events reconstructed from documentary and instrumental data. These data series will contribute to a more precise frequency analysis of floods in gauged and ungauged catchments using "field flood data" than can be provided by statistical and hydrological models. The results of the project will be interpreted and transferred to the relevant public agencies for an accurate evaluation of the most recent severe-catastrophic floods.

Brief biography

Lothar Schulte studied Geography, Geology and Economic History at the Univ. of Düsseldorf and Cologne, and obtained his Ph.D. in 2000 at the Univ. of Barcelona. His thesis on Quaternary landscape evolution in Mediterranean dryland environments received the 3-year national award on Quaternary Science and Geomorphology from the Spanish Quaternary Research Association and the Spanish Geomorphology Association. In 2000 he was contracted by the University of Barcelona as Assistant Professor at the Department of Geography giving lectures in Geomorphology, Landscape conservation, Global change, Remote Sensing, Fieldwork, etc. Between 2001 and 2002, he was an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Postdoc fellow at the University of Berne, Switzerland. In 2002, he was also contracted by the University of Berne for a lecture. In 2006, he was appointed Associate Professor and, in 2017, Full-Professor (Catedrático) in the Department of Geography, University of Barcelona.

Since 2006, he has acted as Principal Investigator of the PaleoRisk Research Group and of multiple granted research projects. Since his appointment in 2006, he has raised funding of 1,335,086 ¿ (674,336 ¿ during the last 5 years). In 2011 and 2019, he received the ICREA Academy Award. Since 2008, he has participated in the evaluation processes of the DFG 806 Collaborative Research Centre and DFG research projects, and has written expert evaluation reports for research foundations, agencies and institutions, including AEI, AQU, IGS and FWO. Since 2018, he has been the coordinator of the Floods Working Group of the international network Past Global Changes (PAGES).

His research activities are focused on the study of the development of river basins and fluvial landscapes focusing particularly on the historical interaction between flood dynamics, land-use and hydraulic management, ranging from pluri-millennial time scales to historical times. This research is concerned primarily with the impact of global change on mountain, environments and local communities. Reference records of past floods were obtained in the European Alps, New Zealand's Alps, Betics, NE-Spain using multidisciplinary approaches. Space-time flood basin models were then developed that integrate information about flood driving factors, human occupation, and mechanisms of resilience and hydraulic management.
