Spatial extremes and environmental sustainability: Statistical methods and applications in geophysics and the environment

Rare events can have catastrophic consequences for human activities, through their impacts on the natural and constructed environments and on health. It is now very likely that the frequency of events such as avalanches, extreme rainfall, and heat waves will increase as a result of climate change, yet as they are intrinsically highly variable, they are hard to forecast and hence to protect against. Recent developments in the statistics of extremes and the increased availability of relevant high-quality data have the potential both to deepen our grasp of the underlying physical phenomena, and to aid in the construction of mathematical models and tools for forecasting the likely occurrence and impact of extreme events.
