In response to flood risk, design flood estimation is a cornerstone of planning, infrastructure
design, setting of insurance premiums, and emergency response planning. Under stationary …

Future flooding is likely to exceed current design flood levels which are based on historical
extreme rainfall characteristics. The Clausius-Clapeyron relationship explains the …

Extreme precipitation heavily affects society and economy in Africa because it triggers
natural hazards and contributes large amounts of freshwater. Understanding past changes …

Understanding past changes in precipitation extremes could help us predict their future
dynamics. We present a novel approach for analyzing trends in extremes and attributing …

Bivariate frequency analysis is an emerging method for the assessment of compound floods,
especially in coastal regions. Changing climate, which usually leads to changes in …

The nonstationary flood frequency analysis (NS-FFA) is conducted when the assumption of
stationarity in hydrologic extremes is violated. The commonly used approach is the …

The typical approach to account for non-stationarity in the generalized extreme value
distribution (GEV) is to model the temporal behavior of the GEV parameters, eg, with linear …

Estimating future short-duration extreme precipitation in mountainous regions is
fundamental for risk management. High-resolution convection-permitting models (CPMs) …

Extreme sub-hourly precipitation, typically convective in nature, is capable of triggering
natural disasters such as floods and debris flows. A key component of climate change …

In flood frequency analysis (FFA), choices of distribution and methods can hinder the
reproducibility of results. Besides, changes in climate, land use/cover, and water …
