Sep 2013

After a long and busy summer (EVA in Shanghai and IMSCE in Korea and other conferences),  this Fall and Winter appear to be also very active in terms of extremes:

Extreme Flood Events (in french): de l’étude de l’aléa à la gestion du risque pour les ouvrages hydrauliques, Lyon, 13-14 novembre  2013



A call for a special issue on extremes for the SII Statistics and its Interface journal

The journal Weather and Climate Extremes has its first issue

A special issue on copulas with a few articles on extremes in the journal of the SFDS society

The 2nd VALUE training school "statistical and dynamical downscaling of extreme events", will be held from 21 October to 1 November 2013 in Trieste, Italy

March 2013

A new journal

Weather and Climate Extremes (an open access journal). In order to promote relevant statistical uncertainty analysis of extremes, I encourage statisticians to submit their work to   this applied journal.
