We review work on extreme events, their causes and consequences, by a group of
European and American researchers involved in a three-year project on these topics. The …

Sub‐daily rainfall extremes may be associated with flash flooding, particularly in urban
areas but, compared with extremes on daily timescales, have been relatively little studied in …

The production of synthetic datasets has been proposed as a statistical disclosure control
solution to generate public use files out of protected data, and as a tool to create" …

Extreme value methodology is being increasingly used by practitioners from a wide range of
fields. The importance of accurately modeling extreme events has intensified, particularly in …

Consider a random sample in the max-domain of attraction of a multivariate extreme value
distribution such that the dependence structure of the attractor belongs to a parametric …

The accurate estimation of flood probability is crucial for designing water storage and flood
retention structures. However, the assumption of identical distribution in flood samples is …

The current general consensus is that because of global climate change, coastal
infrastructures may be subject to more extreme loads in the future than in the past. There has …

The invasive Asian tiger mosquito Aedes albopictus has recently been observed in southern
Germany for the first time to reproduce and even overwinter north of the Alps. After the …

Monitoring solute fluxes in water quality studies is essential to reveal potential ecosystem
disturbances, and is particularly important in Andean headwater catchments as they are the …

Flood frequency analysis (FFA) involves fitting of a probability distribution to observed flood
data. Two main models, annual maximum (AM) and peaks over threshold (POT), are …
