This review outlines the use of documentary evidence of historical flood events in
contemporary flood frequency estimation in European countries. The study shows that …

This paper presents a review of trend analysis of extreme precipitation and hydrological
floods in Europe based on observations and future climate projections. The review …

In Canada, risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall has risen in recent decades; the most
notable recent examples include the July 2013 storm in the Greater Toronto region and the …

There is now widespread awareness of the impact of anthropogenic influences on extreme
floods (and droughts) and thus an increasing need for methods to account for such …

At-site flood frequency analysis is a direct method of estimation of flood frequency at a

The collapse of bridges inevitably leads to economical losses and may also be responsible
for human fatalities. A bridge may fail due to several reasons, with local scouring around its …

This report documents the initial findings from the Nuclear Regulatory commission (NRC)-

We present the first quantitative reconstruction of palaeofloods using lake sediments for the
UK and show that for a large catchment in NW England the cluster of devastating floods from …

There is a need to estimate design floods for areal planning and the design of important
infrastructure. A major challenge is the mismatch between the length of the flood records …

The potential for changes in environmental extremes is routinely investigated by fitting
change-permitting extreme value models to long-term observations, allowing one or more …
