Inferring heavy tails of flood distributions through hydrograph recession analysis [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2023
Floods are often disastrous due to underestimation of the magnitude of rare events. Underestimation commonly happens when the magnitudes of floods follow a heavy-tailed distribution, but this behavior is not recognized and thus neglected for flood hazard
