Research topic
Modelling extreme winter precipitation in the Mediterranean Levantine coast using a stationary and non-stationary generalised Pareto distribution (GPD). Research Question: Is the method from Cooley (2013) and Salas (2014) to estimate non-stationary return levels feasible for the GPD?
