Summary
Every year, natural disasters triggered by hydrological extremes such as floods and drought cause significant loss of life and property damage in the U.S. A shift has been observed in the magnitude and timing of these extreme events. This CAREER project will use a combination of statistical analysis and hydrologic modeling to investigate the underlying reasons for this shift. The project will use the results of the analysis to develop innovative tools for identifying hazards and managing them. Open-source software for data analysis will be made available to hydrologists and water resource s
