The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Mathematical Sciences awarded a 3-year, $150,000 Project Grant to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) to develop new statistical methods for analyzing extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, and intense precipitation. The research, conducted under the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to better understand the spatiotemporal distributions and trends of these extreme events. Key objectives include obtaining exact probability distributions of peak heights for smooth Gaussian and non-Gaussian random fields, investigating regional peak height distributions in the non-stationary case, and studying the spatial distribution of peaks to estimate the chances of extreme events in specific regions. The research will also apply the developed methods to characterize and model extreme heat events and land surface changes. This interdisciplinary effort will integrate tools from probability, statistics, geometry, and geographic information science to produce theoretical results and statistical models with applications in climate science, environmental science, and social sciences.
