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 …

Renewable sources of electricity, such as solar and wind, need to be paired with sources of
reliable baseload. Hydropower is a renewable, low‐emission source of electricity baseload …

Climate change introduces substantial uncertainty to water resources planning and raises
the key question: when, or under what conditions, should adaptation occur? A number of …

This review provides a broad overview of the current state of flood research, current
challenges, and future directions. Beginning with a discussion of flood-generating …

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

Abstract Concepts like the 100‐year flood event can be misleading if they are not updated to
reflect significant changes over time. Here, we model observed annual maximum daily …

Extreme events are of interest worldwide given their potential for substantial impacts on

This paper is of methodological nature, and deals with the foundations of Risk Assessment.
Several international guidelines have recently recommended to select appropriate/relevant …

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 …
