dc.description.abstractProjecting streamflow extremes under nonstationarity is important for managing river flooding in a changing climate. The objective of this study is to develop a nonstationary modelling framework for projecting future changes in the annual exceedance probabilities of streamflow extremes for the Fraser River at Hope station (WSC gauge 08MF005) using phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) generation of global climate models (GCMs). Nonstationarity is represented by the variable parameter Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution, which provides a flexible approach for estimating the distribution of extremes.
