Routes to extreme events in dynamical systems: Dynamical and statistical characteristics. [PDF]
Chaos, 2020 Intermittent large amplitude events are seen in the temporal evolution of a state variable of many dynamical systems. Such intermittent large events suddenly start appearing in dynamical systems at a critical value of a system parameter and continues for

Modeling Extreme Events: Time-Varying Extreme Tail Shape
Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2023 We propose a dynamic semiparametric framework to study time variation in tail parameters. The framework builds on the Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for modeling peaks over thresholds as in Extreme Value Theory, but casts the model in a conditional framework to allow for time-variation in the tail parameters.

Aerodynamic Mitigation of Wind Uplift on Low-Rise Building Roof Using Large-Scale Testing
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 During strong wind events such as hurricanes and thunderstorms, building roofs are subjected to high wind uplift forces (suctions), which often lead to severe roofing component damage and possibly, water intrusion.

Reactions to extreme events: moving threshold model [PDF]
, 2005 In spite of precautions to avoid the harmful effects of extreme events, we experience recurrently phenomena that overcome the preventive barriers. These barriers usually increase drastically right after the occurrence of such extreme events, but steadily

Risk Communication in Latin America: an Evaluation of Its Impact While Facing the Covid-19 Pandemic
Revista de Estudios Latinoamericanos sobre Reducción del Riesgo de Desastres, 2022 The systemic risk scenario generated by the COVID-19 pandemic implies reviewing how risk communication mechanisms are capable of influencing people's behavior and, with this, promote adherence to self-care and prevention measures.
