Sea-level rise exponentially increases coastal flood frequency. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 Sea-level rise will radically redefine the coastline of the 21 st century. For many coastal regions, projections of global sea-level rise by the year 2100 (e.g., 0.5–2 meters) are comparable in magnitude to today’s extreme but short-lived increases in ...

Flood frequency analysis supported by the largest historical flood [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The use of non-systematic flood data for statistical purposes depends on the reliability of the assessment of both flood magnitudes and their return period. The earliest known extreme flood year is usually the beginning of the historical record.

The uncertainty of flood frequency analyses in hydrodynamic model simulations
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 . Assessing the risk of a historical-level flood is essential for regional flood protection and resilience establishment. However, due to the limited spatiotemporal coverage of observations, the impact assessment relies on model simulations and is thus ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021 Flood frequency is commonly defined by natural flood characteristics such as flood peak, volume and duration. However, for floods at reservoir site, reservoir operation will significantly alter the natural flood process and flood frequency.

A conceptual investigation of process controls upon flood frequency: role of thresholds [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2007 Traditional statistical approaches to flood frequency inherently assume homogeneity and stationarity in the flood generation process. This study illustrates the impact of heterogeneity associated with threshold non-linearities in the storage-discharge ...

Hydrology Research, 2021 Flood events are difficult to characterize if available observation records are shorter than the recurrence intervals, and the non-stationarity of the climate adds additional uncertainty.

Climate, orography and scale controls on flood frequency in Triveneto (Italy) [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2016 The growing concern about the possible effects of climate change on flood frequency regime is leading Authorities to review previously proposed reference procedures for design-flood estimation, such as national flood frequency models.

Journal of Hydrology, 2020 Stochastic Storm Transposition (SST) involves resampling and random geospatial shifting (i.e. transposition) of observed storm events to generate hypothetical but realistic rainstorms.
