This richly illustrated book describes statistical extreme value theory for the quantification of natural hazards, such as strong winds, floods and rainfall, and discusses an interdisciplinary approach to allow the theoretical methods to be applied. The approach consists of a number of steps: data selection and correction, non-stationary theory (to account for trends due to climate change), and selecting appropriate estimation techniques based on both decision-theoretic features (e.g., Bayesian theory), empirical robustness and a valid treatment of uncertainties. It also examines and critically reviews alternative approaches based on stochastic and dynamic numerical models, as well as recently emerging data analysis issues and presents large-scale, multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art case studies.

Intended for all those with a basic knowledge of statistical methods interested in the quantification of natural hazards, the book is also a valuable resource for engineers conducting risk analyses in collaboration with scientists from other fields (such as hydrologists, meteorologists, climatologists).

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Nicolas Bousquet is a mathematician specializing in probability and statistics. Trained in computer science, he received his Ph.D in Mathematics from the Paris XI University in 2006. He has developed Bayesian modeling methodologies to merge heterogeneous sources of information into decision support problems in uncertain environments, methods for sensitivity analysis and Monte Carlo acceleration methods within complex numerical models. Awarded Best Young European Statistician by ENBIS in 2016, he worked in industrial risk and environmental resource management at EDF R&D for 9 years and in collaboration with many public and international research centers. He was also an associate researcher at the Institut de Math�matique de Toulouse. Between 2017 and 2020, he was in charge of R&D at Quantmetry, a consulting firm specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI), while also serving as an Associate Professor at Sorbonne University. He has published about 40 research articles and book chapters and in 2018 he directed the production of the first scientific book translated using artificial intelligence tools (Deep Learning, by Goodfellow, Bengio and Courville). Still an Associate Professor, he is currently the Deputy Head of the industrial AI joint laboratory SINCLAIR (EDF-Total-Thales) and a Expert Researcher at EDF R&D.

Dr. Pietro Bernardara is a hydrologist and holds a Ph.D from the Politechnico di Milano (2004). With a strong background in applied statistics, he has developed numerous techniques for quantifying extreme natural hazards in river and marine environments to mitigate industrial risks. After working as an expert researcher at EDF R&D, then as a Natural Hazard R&D Manager at EDF Energy (UK), he currently heads the CEREA (Centre for Teaching and Research in Atmospheric Environment) at the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, as well as the "Atmospheric Environment" Group at EDF R&D. He is the author or co-author of about thirty publications.

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
