Analysis, design, and management of civil infrastructure require accurate estimation of hydroclimatic extremes including floods and droughts. It is now widely recognized that the planet’s climate, including its hydroclimate, is no longer stationary, in great measure due to land-use change and human influence on Earth’s climate. Unprecedented changes in flood and drought events may threaten existing infrastructure and challenge future designs. This research program will develop innovative frameworks for accurate estimation of hydroclimatic extremes at regional and global scales, leading to more sustainable design and management of civil infrastructure. It comprises three short-term objectives, which constitute a cohesive and comprehensive nonstationary

民用基础设施的分析、设计和管理需要准确估计洪水和干旱等极端水文气候。现在人们普遍认识到，地球的气候（包括水文气候）不再是固定的，这在很大程度上是由于土地利用变化和人类活动造成的。洪水和干旱事件的前所未有的变化可能会威胁现有的基础设施并挑战未来的设计，该研究计划将开发创新框架，以准确估计区域和全球范围内的极端水文气候，从而产生更多影响。它包括三个短期目标，构成一个有凝聚力和全面的非平稳目标。
