Extreme value index estimation with applications to modeling extreme insurance losses and sea surface temperatures

Creator:: Henry, John B.
Abstract:: The extreme value index (EVI) links the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and the generalized Pareto (GP) distribution. These two distributions are fundamental in extreme value theory (EVT), with the GEV distribution being the only possible non-degenerate limiting distribution of properly normalized maxima of iid random variables, and the GP...

Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using either the maximum recorded total water level (TWL) or a 'design' event such as the 100-year return-level flood, usually projected from observed extreme events. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of wave heights and...

An analysis of water resource conflict and cooperation in Oregon between 1990 and 2004

Creator:: Fesler, Kristel J.
Abstract:: This research provides details of water resource conflict and cooperation in Oregon between 1990 and 2004 by using an event database methodology. Events were concentrated in four of 18 basins. No basin accounted for more that 25% of the total water rights events, the most evenly distributed issue type. Overall...

Simulating extreme total water levels using a time-dependent, extreme value approach

Creator:: Serafin, Katherine A. and Ruggiero, Peter
Abstract:: Coastal flood hazard zones and the design of coastal defenses are often devised using the maximum recorded water level or a ‘‘design’’ event such as the 100 year return level, usually projected from observed extremes. Despite technological advances driving more consistent instrumental records of waves and water levels, the observational...

How Behavior, Physiology, and Ontogeny of Klamath Redband Trout Shape the Functionality of Habitats in a Landscape of Temperature Extremes

Creator:: Hahlbeck, Nicholas J.
Abstract:: Climate change is a global phenomenon, but natural selection occurs within landscapes. A central tenet of landscape ecology is that mobile species depend on complementary habitats, which are insufficient in isolation, but combine to support animals through the full annual cycle. For coldwater fishes, it is widely assumed that maximum...

Quantifying Vulnerability of Agricultural Systems in India to Weather Extremes

Creator:: Kulkarni, Kedar
Abstract:: Extreme weather events are expected to increase globally due to climate change thereby posing substantial risks to agricultural communities. The implications are especially high for tropical countries like India as the heavy dependence of agricultural sector to uncertain monsoons makes its agriculture highly vulnerable to weather variability and extremes. In...

A statistical analysis of extreme chinooks in Montana as they relate to large scale circulation changes

Creator:: Grant, Roland Lester
Abstract:: A statistical analysis of extreme chinooks in Montana as they relate to large scale atmospheric circulation changes is the subject of this thesis. A mean chinook situation was identified which indicated that a critical pattern of the surface flow always contained a Polar or Arctic airmass which overspread the prairie...

Creator:: Jackson, Aaron D., Hatch, Douglas R., Close, David A., Li, Hiram W., Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon., Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission., and Oregon Cooperative Fishery Research Unit
Abstract:: Based on oral interviews with tribal informants, current and former state and federal fisheries personnel, review of records and literature, and presence/absence sampling, it is apparent that Pacific lamprey were once abundant in ceded area streams of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (John Day, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Tucannon, and Grande Ronde...
