Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

Drought is a recurring natural phenomenon that has plagued the civilization throughout its
history. Due to the complex nature and widespread impacts of drought, there is a lack of …

Sea level rise (SLR), a well-documented and urgent aspect of anthropogenic global
warming, threatens population and assets located in low-lying coastal regions all around the …

Compound events (CEs) are multivariate extreme events in which the individual contributing
variables may not be extreme themselves, but their joint–dependent–occurrence causes an …

This review provides a broad overview of the current state of flood research, current
challenges, and future directions. Beginning with a discussion of flood-generating …

Rising global temperatures are causing increases in the frequency and severity of extreme

interaction between co-occurring drought and hot conditions is often particularly damaging …

Most of the hydrological and hydraulic studies refer to the notion of a return period to
quantify design variables. When dealing with multiple design variables, the well-known …

This paper aims to investigate the impact of copula selection on geotechnical reliability
under incomplete probability information. The copula theory is introduced briefly. Thereafter …
