Global warming is expected to produce modifications in the intensity, as well as in the
seasonality and spatiotemporal structure of extreme precipitation. In the present study, the …

Abstract Study region The Conterminous United States Study focus The NOAA Atlases have
provided the standard precipitation frequency estimates (PFEs) for over two decades in the …

The non-stationarity of identifying hydrological extreme sequences is essential for
understanding the patterns of hydrological systems and conducting reasonable risk …

Failure of aging, undersized, and poorly maintained culverts is a problem throughout the
United States. A lack of data on culvert location and condition complicates decision-making …

Extreme precipitation events influence watershed, agriculture, and urban management. The
probability of extreme precipitation is estimated for storm water management using …

Storm frequency estimates and their temporal distributions are important in determining
estimates of runoff or peak flow rates in many engineering and hydrological problems …

Increases in the frequency of extreme rainfall occurrence have emerged as one of the more
consistent climate trends in recent decades, particularly in the eastern United States. Such …

In this study, we examine a Bayesian approach to analyze extreme daily rainfall amounts
and forecast return-levels. Estimating the probability of occurrence and quantiles of future …

The sociologist of risk, Ulrich Beck (1992), reached the following profoundly important
conclusion (as translated by Power, 1997):“… a paradigm shift in the understanding of risk is …

This report describes the motivation, data, methods and results from a cross-institutional
research project to generate future projected intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves for …
