Medieval Europe floods reconstructed, offering climate crisis lessons · 1 source tracked

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Scientists have reconstructed a series of 16 major floods that impacted Europe between 1342 and 1343, with the Magdalena Flood being the most prominent. Researchers, led by Andrea Kiss of TU Wien, analyzed historical documents to understand the intensity and timing of these events. They noted that only the Magdalena Flood is widely remembered, possibly due to the creation of physical markers like flood marks and memorial plaques by local authorities, which played a role in collective memory and risk awareness. The study warns that extreme weather events are increasing due to climate change and that current flood management may not be prepared for sequences of severe floods like those experienced in the 14th century.

    Memories Mysteriously Survive After Brain Shutdown, And Scientists Don’t Know Why

    Mice can access memories after hibernation, a state that largely shuts their brains off and reduces synapses, suggesting that memories are stored across shifting neural systems.
