Climate studies indicate that the risk of increased flooding and/or more severe droughts will be higher in the future than today, causing increased fatalities, environmental degradation, and economic losses. Using a suite of innovative approaches this book quantifies the changes in projected hydroclimatic extremes and illustrates their impacts in several locations in North America, Asia, and Europe.Meteorology & climatologybicsscBoise River WatershedCanadacatchment based macroscale floodplain modelchanging of exceedanceclimateclimate changeclimate change and variabilityclimate change impactsclimate projectionsCMIP5consecutive dry dayscontinuous simulationsCopula functiondownscaled projectionsdownscalingdrought-flood abrupt alternationdroughtsensemblesEURO-CORDEX projectionsextreme hydrologic eventsextreme precipitationextreme rainfallflash floodflood frequency analysisflood hazardflood inundation mapsflood riskflooding frequencyfloodsfrequency estimatesfuture precipitation at urban scalefuture projectionsHSPFhydrological risk assessmentNortheastern USRCM uncertaintyRCP4.5RCP8.5return periodSoutheast U.S.spatial analogstreamflow regulation rulestemporal and spatial evolutionuncertaintywater qualitywater resource systemsMeteorology & climatologyMarkus Momciloauth1323465Cai XimingauthSriver RyanauthBOOK9910367740603321Extreme Floods and Droughts under Future Climate Scenarios3035584UNINA
