23 - 25 November, 2021
Online - virtual
The workshop will be spread over three half-days from the 23rd to 25th of November 2021, including an evening session on the first day for our European plenaries, Phillipe Naveau and Jenny Wadsworth, and a morning session on the second day for our American plenaries, Mark Risser and Christina Patricola.
In this workshop, we will split our climate and statistical participants across the four break out groups:
- Modelling Flash flooding versus Fluvial Flooding
- Factors contributing to the severity of flood events
- Attributing flood events
- Non-stationarity in flood modelling
We are hoping these breakout discussions will help identify where the climate and statistics communities need to come together to tackle the challenges for modelling extreme rainfall and floods. As participants come from the climate and statistics communities across the university sector, as well as CSIRO, BoM and NIWA, we expect a wide range perspectives and engaging conversation.
