 *"Applying multivariate extremes value methods for univariate and spatial
flood risk assessment"*

Abstract:

The talk will cover two distinct problems in flood risk assessment: the
estimation of the distribution of flood peaks at a site and the estimation
of the distribution of “financial loss” over a region from flooding.
Approaches based on univariate extreme value theory exist for each of
these, with the one for flood peaks being very widely used. Both of these
problems are essentially multivariate problems. In this talk I will present
a multivariate extreme value approach to each of the two problems that
offers substantial improvements over the existing methods.
