中世纪后期的气候恶化与影响北海南部海岸的海洋风暴潮频率增加有关。本文研究了13世纪中期至15世纪中期风暴潮对泰晤士河口和潮汐河沿岸陆地的影响。土地利用在沿海和河流沼泽地进行审查，并探讨防御海洋洪水的手段和成本。洪水对人类利用沼泽地的影响，对中世纪伦敦郊区和泰晤士河渔业的影响都进行了调查。在确定对海洋洪水威胁的反应时，强调经济和环境因素之间复杂的相互作用。
Climatic deterioration in the later middle ages was associated with an increasing frequency of marine storm surges affecting the coasts of the southern North Sea. This paper investigates the impact of storm surges upon the lands bordering the Thames estuary and tidal river between the mid-thirteenth and mid-fifteenth centuries. Land use in the coastal and riverine marshes is reviewed, and the means and costs of defence against marine flooding explored. The impact of flooding upon human use of the marshlands, upon the suburbs of medieval London and upon the Thames fisheries are all investigated. Stress is placed upon the complex interaction of economic and environmental factors in determining the response to the threat of marine flooding.
