This book provides a collection of the state-of-the-art methodologies and approaches suggested
for detecting extremes trend analysis accounting for nonstationarities and uncertainties
associated with extreme value analysis in a changing climate. This volume is designed so that
it can be used as the primary reference on the available methodologies for analysis of climate
extremes. Furthermore the book addresses current hydrometeorologic global data sets and their
applications for global scale analysis of extremes. While the main objective is to deliver
recent theoretical concepts several case studies on extreme climate conditions are provided.
Audience The book is suitable for teaching in graduate courses in the disciplines of Civil and
Environmental Engineering Earth System Science Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences.
