Hydroclimatic extremes such as intense rainfall, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wind or
storms have devastating effects each year. One of the key challenges for society is …

Statistical and physically-based methods have been used for designing and assessing
water infrastructure such as spillways and stormwater drainage systems. Traditional …

Water resources design has widely used the average return period as a concept to inform
management and communication of the risk of experiencing an exceedance event within a …

There is growing concern that flooding is becoming more frequent and severe in Europe. A
better understanding of flood regime changes and their drivers is therefore needed. The …

The detection and attribution of long-term patterns in hydrological time series have been
important research topics for decades. A significant portion of the literature regards such …

This study investigates whether long‐term changes in observed series of high flows can be
attributed to changes in land use via nonstationary flood‐frequency analyses. A point …

Conventional methods for designing infrastructure that is subject to flood risk, such as dams
and levees, assume a stationary design flood. However, observed and potential non …

Recent studies have revealed evidence of trends in the median or mean flood discharge in
Europe over the last 5 decades, with clear and coherent regional patterns. The aim of this …

Substantial evidence shows that the frequency of hydrological extremes has been changing
and is likely to continue to change in the near future. Non-stationary models for flood …

Nonstationary extreme value analysis (NEVA) can improve the statistical representation of
observed flood peak distributions compared to stationary (ST) analysis, but management of …
