Effects of Mixed Distribution Statistical Flood Frequency Models on Dam Safety Assessments: A Case Study of the Pueblo Dam, USA
K. J. Roop-Eckart, Sanjib Sharma, Mahkameh Zarekarizi +4
Statistical flood frequency analysis coupled with hydrograph scaling is commonly used to generate design floods to assess dam safety assessment. The safety assessments can be highl…
A Scalable Partitioned Approach to Model Massive Nonstationary Non-Gaussian Spatial Datasets
Benjamin Seiyon Lee, Jaewoo Park
Nonstationary non-Gaussian spatial data are common in many disciplines, including climate science, ecology, epidemiology, and social sciences. Examples include count data on diseas…
Bayesian Characterization of Uncertainties Surrounding Fluvial Flood Hazard Estimates
Sanjib Sharma, Ganesh Raj Ghimire, Rocky Talchabhadel +5
Fluvial floods drive severe risk to riverine communities. There is a strong evidence of increasing flood hazards in many regions around the world. The choice of methods and assumpt…
A Fast Particle-Based Approach for Calibrating a 3-D Model of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Ben Seiyon Lee, Murali Haran, Robert Fuller +2
We consider the scientifically challenging and policy-relevant task of understanding the past and projecting the future dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic ice sheet…
