Gaining a holistic understanding of extreme weather, from its physical drivers to its impacts
on society and ecosystems, is key to supporting future risk reduction and preparedness …

Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is,
extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used …

Abstract Intensity-duration-frequency (IDF) curves–sometimes also called precipitation
frequency estimates–are used to design urban drainage systems for stormwater control and …

Here we review methods used for probabilistic analysis of extreme events in
Hydroclimatology. We focus on streamflow, precipitation, and temperature extremes at …

Extreme precipitation of multiple durations is responsible for major natural hazards in
mountainous regions, such as flash floods and debris flows. Understanding the orographic …

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

The metastatistical extreme value approach proved promising in the frequency analysis of
daily precipitation from ordinary events, outperforming traditional methods based on …

The exceedance probability of extreme daily precipitation is usually quantified assuming
asymptotic behaviours. Non-asymptotic statistics, however, would allow us to describe …

The yearly exceedance probability of extreme precipitation of multiple durations is crucial for
infrastructure design, risk management, and policymaking. Local extremes emerge from the …

Climate change poses a great threat to society through its effects on extreme hydrological
events (floods and droughts) and the sustainable development. Coping with climate change …
