Peaks-over-threshold model in flood frequency analysis: a scoping review

X Pan, A Rahman, K Haddad, TBMJ Ouarda - … Research and Risk …, 2022 - Springer

Probabilistic landslide hazard assessment at the basin scale

F Guzzetti, P Reichenbach, M Cardinali, M Galli… - Geomorphology, 2005 - Elsevier
We propose a probabilistic model to determine landslide hazard at the basin scale. The
model predicts where landslides will occur, how frequently they will occur, and how large …

Comparison between the peaks-over-threshold method and the annual maximum method for flood frequency analysis

N Bezak, M Brilly, M Šraj - Hydrological Sciences Journal, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
Flood frequency analysis can be made by using two types of flood peak series, ie the annual
maximum (AM) and peaks-over-threshold (POT) series. This study presents a comparison of …

Uncertainties in partial duration series modelling of extremes related to the choice of the threshold value

S Beguería - Journal of Hydrology, 2005 - Elsevier
Partial duration series modelling is a robust tool with which to model hydrologic extremes,
but because of several technical problems it remains underused. The most important …

Non-stationary frequency analysis of heavy rainfall events in southern France

Y Tramblay, L Neppel, J Carreau… - Hydrological Sciences …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Heavy rainfall events often occur in southern French Mediterranean regions during the
autumn, leading to catastrophic flood events. A non-stationary peaks-over-threshold (POT) …
