Gründemann, Gaby J. (author)Improved understanding of historical precipitation extremes is important to better explain their behavior, predict future occurrences, and inform planning and engineering design. The intensity, seasonality, and timing of these extremes have far-reaching consequences, and require a comprehensive analysis of both historical trends and projected...doctoral thesis 2023

Gründemann, Gaby J. (author), Zorzetto, E. (author), van de Giesen, N.C. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author)Global warming impacts the hydrological cycle, affecting the seasonality and timing of extreme precipitation. Understanding historical changes in extreme precipitation occurrence is crucial for assessing their impacts. This study uses relative entropy to analyze historical changes in seasonality and timing of extreme daily precipitation...journal article 2023
