Automatic feature selection and weighting for the formation of homogeneous groups for regional IDF estimation
Yang, Zhe; Burn, Donald H. (Elsevier, 2019-08)The intensity-duration frequency (IDF) curve has been used as an effective tool to quantify the risk associated with the impact of extreme rainfall on civil infrastructure. However, recent changes in the rainfall climatology ... -
Changes in flood events inferred from centennial length streamflow data records
Burn, Donald H.; Whitfield, Paul H. (Elsevier, 2018-11-01)This research examines ways that climate change may alter the risk of flooding in cold regions focusing on changes in the flood regimes and changes and shifts in the dominant flood generating processes at 27 natural ... -
Estimates of gridded relative changes in 24-h extreme rainfall intensities based on pooled frequency analysis
Requena, Ana I.; Burn, Donald H.; Coulibaly, Paulin (Elsevier, 2019-10)The potential effect of climate change needs to be considered in urban infrastructure design and risk assessment to improve reliability. The present study proposes a methodology for obtaining grid-scale relative changes ...
