Brief description Mathematics of Extremes in Random Dynamics for Catastrophic Event Risk. Extreme weather events have become a concern in Australia over the last decade due to their lasting impact on our nation’s resilience, economic stability, and wellbeing. Catastrophic weather events are characterised by runs of extreme weather: for example, consecutive days of extremes in temperature or rainfall drive cold-spells, heatwaves, or flooding. By establishing statistical principles, such as probability distributions called extreme value laws, this project will provide mathematical tools to accurately model magnitudes and returns of future catastrophic weather events across Australia. These mathematical tools will have vast implications for policy decisions concerning community health, energy demand, and resilience infrastructure.
