Nonstationary Compound Flood Hazard Assessment for Coastal Communities

Explore a comprehensive lecture on nonstationary compound flood hazard assessment for coastal communities. Delve into the development of a copula-based Bayesian framework that accounts for sea-level rise and changing precipitation patterns. Examine case studies demonstrating how dependence and trend characteristics influence extreme event frequency and flood structure failure risk. Learn how this framework can inform more robust flood hazard assessments and flood control strategies. Gain insights from Michelle Hummel, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Water Resources at the University of Texas at Arlington, in this 56-minute presentation from the Bureau of Economic Geology.
