Understanding and modelling future risks from natural hazards is becoming increasingly
crucial as the climate changes, human population grows, asset wealth accumulates, and …

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

Water resources design has widely used the average return period as a concept to inform
management and communication of the risk of experiencing an exceedance event within a …

Research into potential implications of climate change on flood hazard has made significant
progress over the past decade, yet efforts to translate this research into practical guidance …

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 …

Return period and risk of extreme hydrological events are critical considerations in water
resources management. The stationarity assumption of extreme events for conducting …

Flood disaster is more serious in coastal cities due to the combined impact of rainfall and
tides. Accurate assessment of coastal flood risk is essential for planning effective and …

The intensification of the hydrologic cycle due to climate change is likely to influence the
extreme precipitation characteristics (ie, intensity, duration and frequency). These …

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 …

The hydrologic design of nonstationary flood extremes is an emerging field that is essential
for water resources management and hydrologic engineering design to cope with changing …
