Transposing flood risk from extreme rainfall events: A case study of Hurricane Harvey
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2022 Hurricane Harvey produced unprecedented flooding that altered flood frequency statistics near Houston, Texas. While Harvey could have made landfall elsewhere along the Gulf coast, traditional flood frequency methodologies only consider the risk of Harvey

Have applications of continuous rainfall-runoff simulation realized the vision for process-based flood frequency analysis? [PDF]
, 2016 Keith Beven was amongst the first to propose and demonstrate a combination of conceptual rainfall–runoff modelling and stochastically generated rainfall data in what is known as the ‘continuous simulation’ approach for flood frequency analysis.

Sampling uncertainty of UK design flood estimation
Hydrology Research, 2021 The UK standard for estimating flood frequencies is outlined by the flood estimation handbook (FEH) and associated updates. Estimates inevitably come with uncertainty due to sampling error as well as model and measurement error.

Logarithmic transformation and peak-discharge power-law analysis
Hydrology Research, 2020 The peak-discharge and drainage area power-law relation has been widely used in regional flood frequency analysis for more than a century. The coefficients and can be obtained by nonlinear or log-log linear regression.

Influence of solar forcing, climate variability and modes of low-frequency atmospheric variability on summer floods in Switzerland [PDF]
, 2016 The higher frequency of severe flood events in Switzerland in recent decades has given fresh impetus to the study of flood patterns and their possible forcing mechanisms, particularly in mountain environments.
