Mastering FFA: incorporating extreme events and climate change - premiumwebinar

View More Premium Webinars

About

With hands-on guidance using real data sets, attendees will incorporate non-stationarity to account for the latest Australian Rainfall and Runoff (ARR) Guidelines' climate change updates and incorporate extreme events to assess impacts on curve fitting.

Prepare to elevate your expertise in flood frequency analyses (FFA) in this essential hands-on webinar, designed specifically for water professionals who need to incorporate the latest climate change guidelines into their models and assessments.

This advanced training session will equip participants to account for extreme events and climate change into FFAs, integrating recent ARR climate change guidance. Using the newly released USACE BestFit 2.0 and R programming, this exclusive session dives deeper into FFA by guiding participants through real-world data applications with advanced tools. Building on foundational webinars, you'll explore BestFit and R programming side-by-side with FLIKE to develop FFA results using updated techniques, including the integration of non-stationary.

Key Features:

Step-by-Step Case Studies: Follow along as we incorporate extreme events into FFAs, demonstrating the effects on predicted discharge rates. Apply climate change factors to your FFA using best practices for interpreting non-stationary results that comply with the latest ARR guidelines.
Enhanced Compatibility: Discover the latest BestFit functionalities, now fully compatible with FLIKE, offering tailored capabilities for Australian practitioners.
Extreme Event Estimation: Master the process of extracting peak flow estimates for extreme events and incorporating climate change impacts directly into assessments.

Combining expert guidance, live demonstrations, and interactive exercises, this session is essential for any professional required to apply the climate change to FFAs and flood modelling. Although we’ll apply Australian climate change factors as an example, the demonstrated principles are applicable to all worldwide water practitioners.

Secure your spot now in this premium training opportunity, where you’ll gain a comprehensive, actionable understanding of how to address today’s evolving climate impacts in your FFA practice.
