Advances in extreme value analysis and application to natural hazards
Advances in extreme value analysis and application to natural hazards
Editor(s): Ivan Haigh, Thomas Wahl, Yasser Hamdi, Sylvie Parey, and Jean-Philippe Malet
This Special Issue will bring together the different perspectives on this complex and inter-disciplinary topic from research scientists, students, practitioners, and stakeholders. It will be a unique opportunity to further understand the statistical patterns analyzing and estimating the extreme events to characterize natural hazards.

Abstracts that fall under one of the following themes will be considered:
  • univariate and multivariate extreme value analyses;
  • extreme analysis based on historical or paleological data;
  • extreme data collection and data quality;
  • non-stationary extreme value analyses;
  • spatial/regional analysis of extreme values;
  • probabilistic and possibilistic approaches for hazard assessment;
  • uncertainties in extreme value analyses;
  • extreme value analysis in a variable climate;
  • risk analysis and adaptation.
Manuscripts relevant to any of the above themes with case studies in different geographic regions will also be welcome. Papers which are not part of these topics, if appropriate, will be proposed to the general submissions for NHESS.
