We analyse an 89-year streamflow record (1921–2009) from the Upper Ping River in northern Thailand to determine if anomalous flows have increased over time (Trenberth, Clim Res 47:123–138, <CitationRef CitationID="CR53">1999</CitationRef>; Trenberth, Clim Chang 42:327–339, <CitationRef CitationID="CR54">2011</CitationRef>). We also relate the temporal behavior of high and low...</citationref></citationref>

This paper examines the nature and causes of September 2004 hazardous flood that affected the dry and drought prone southwestern region of Bangladesh. It also examines human perception of this new hazard and their methods of adjustments to its negative impacts. Field research for this study...

Although flood risk assessments are frequently associated with significant uncertainty, formal uncertainty analyses are the exception rather than the rule. We propose to separate two fundamentally different types of uncertainty in flood risk analyses: aleatory and epistemic uncertainty. Aleatory...

A sound, evidence-based hazard mapping requires the analysis of stochastic processes taking place at critical configurations (e.g., bridges, levees) in order to reliably determine the spatial patterns of flood intensities and probabilities. Here, we discuss an approach aiming to support an...

The most direct method of design flood estimation is at-site flood frequency analysis, which relies on a relatively long period of recorded streamflow data at a given site. Selection of an appropriate probability distribution and associated parameter estimation procedure is of prime importance...
