Spatial Extremes at Scale: A Case Study of Surface Skin Temperature and Heat Risk in the United States
Ben Seiyon Lee, Reetam Majumder, Jordan Richards +2
Understanding and mapping extreme heat is critical for risk management and public health planning, particularly in regions with complex terrain and heterogeneous climate. We presen…
A Class of Models for Large Zero-inflated Spatial Data
Ben Seiyon Lee, Murali Haran
Spatially correlated data with an excess of zeros, usually referred to as zero-inflated spatial data, arise in many disciplines. Examples include count data, for instance, abundanc…
Flood hazard model calibration using multiresolution model output
Samantha Roth, Ben Seiyon Lee, Sanjib Sharma +3
Riverine floods pose a considerable risk to many communities. Improving flood hazard projections has the potential to inform the design and implementation of flood risk management…
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 safety factor approach to designing urban infrastructure for dynamic conditions
Sanjib Sharma, Ben Seiyon Lee, Robert E. Nicholas +1
Current approaches to design flood-sensitive infrastructure typically assume a stationary rainfall distribution and neglect many uncertainties. These assumptions are inconsistent w…
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…
PICAR: An Efficient Extendable Approach for Fitting Hierarchical Spatial Models
Ben Seiyon Lee, Murali Haran
Hierarchical spatial models are very flexible and popular for a vast array of applications in areas such as ecology, social science, public health, and atmospheric science. It is c…
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…
Deep uncertainties in sea-level rise and storm surge projections: Implications for coastal flood risk management
Perry C. Oddo, Ben Seiyon Lee, Gregory G. Garner +4
Sea-levels are rising in many areas around the world, posing risks to coastal communities and infrastructures. Strategies for managing these flood risks present decision challenges…
