This paper presents the SCHADEX probabilistic method for extreme flood estimation,
developed and applied since 2006 at Electricité de France (EDF) for dam spillway design …

This study explores the relationship between low flows and large-scale climate variability in
France. To this aim, a national low flow reference network of near-natural catchments …

Regional frequency analysis (RFA) has a long history in hydrology, and numerous distinct
approaches have been proposed over the years to perform the estimation of some …

Abstract Intensity‐duration‐frequency (IDF) curves are useful in water resources
engineering for the planning and design of hydrological structures. As opposed to the …

Non-stationary models for extremes have attracted significant attention in recent years.
These models require adapted estimation methods. Bayesian inference offers an attractive …

Flood events can be expressed by a variety of characteristics such as flood magnitude and
extent, event duration or incurred loss. Flood estimation and management may benefit from …

Anomalous weather patterns (WPs) in relation to heavy precipitation events during the baiu
season in Japan are investigated using a nonlinear classification technique known as the …

An abundance of methods have been developed over the years to perform the frequency
analysis (FA) of extreme environmental variables. Although numerous comparisons …

There is a need for assessment of uncertainties and hence effects on reliability of design
and management of stormwater pipes due to the prevalence of urban floods trigged by …

This introduction recalls the considerable socio-economic challenges associated with
extreme natural hazards. The possibilities of statistical quantification of past hazards and …
