Statistical flood frequency analysis coupled with hydrograph scaling is commonly used to generate design floods to assess dam safety assessment. The safety assessments can be highly sensitive to the choice of the statistical flood frequency…

Multivariate extreme value models are used to estimate joint risk in a number of applications, with a particular focus on environmental fields ranging from climatology and hydrology to oceanography and seismic hazards. The semi-parametric…
