Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

Climate change is and will continue altering the world's coasts, which are the most densely
populated and economically active areas on earth and home for highly valuable …

Sea level rise (SLR), a well-documented and urgent aspect of anthropogenic global
warming, threatens population and assets located in low-lying coastal regions all around the …

Compound events (CEs) are multivariate extreme events in which the individual contributing
variables may not be extreme themselves, but their joint–dependent–occurrence causes an …

A method to link bivariate statistical analysis and hydrodynamic modeling for flood hazard
estimation in tidal channels and estuaries is presented and discussed for the general case …

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

In the context of climate change and urbanization, flood becomes one of the most important
threats to human life, health, and property. Coastal areas gathering large numbers of …

This perspective discusses the importance of characterizing, quantifying, and accounting for
various sources of uncertainties involved in different layers of hydrometeorological and …

Estimates of flood event magnitudes with a certain return period are required for the design
of hydraulic structures. While the return period is clearly defined in a univariate context, its …

Multivariate descriptions of ocean parameters are quite important for the design and risk
assessment of offshore engineering applications. A reliable and realistic statistical …
