The impacts of climate change on river flood risk at the global scale [PDF]
Climatic Change, 2014 This paper presents an assessment of the implications of climate change for global river flood risk. It is based on the estimation of flood frequency relationships at a grid resolution of 0.5 × 0.5°, using a global hydrological model with climate ...

The effects of urbanization on floods in the Austin metropolitan area, Texas [PDF]
, 1986 This report looks at compiled data from 1956-1980 to "provide a technique for estimating the magnitude and frequency of flood-peak discharges at ungaged sites and to estimate the effects of changes in urbanization on flood peaks."The effects of ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Generalizable relationships for how subdaily rainfall statistics imprint into runoff statistics are lacking. We use the Colorado Front Range, known for destructive rainfall‐triggered floods and landslides, to assess whether orographic patterns in runoff ...

Stochastic urban pluvial flood hazard maps based upon a spatial-temporal rainfall generator [PDF]
, 2015 It is a common practice to assign the return period of a given storm event to the urban pluvial flood event that such storm generates. However, this approach may be inappropriate as rainfall events with the same return period can produce different urban ...

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1985 Accurate estimation of the magnitude of large floods and their frequency is of continuing concern to hydrologists, and thus a special session on this topic was held at the 1985 AGU Spring Meeting in Baltimore, Md. At the session, papers by W. Kirby and by K. Potter and J.

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Lake sediments can retain imprints of past floods, enabling reconstructions that span well-beyond instrumental time series. Time series covering thousands of years can document the natural range of flood variability, which is critical for understanding ...

Hydrology, 2023 Reducing uncertainty in design flood estimates is an essential part of flood risk planning and management. This study presents results from flood frequency estimates and associated uncertainties for five commonly used probability distribution functions ...

, 2011 Hydrologically similar sites are pooled together to provide much longer records than those at the investigation site. Some key catchment attributes (descriptors) are used in establishing a pooling group through initial selection, discordancy check and heterogeneity test.
