RMC-BestFit deep dive: unlock the full power of Flood Frequency Analysis (LC-25-3-136)


Description
This comprehensive 3-session course is designed for engineers and hydrologists who wish to develop practical, hands-on skills in using RMC-BestFit for modern flood frequency analysis (FFA). The course will guide participants through the process of handling time series data, incorporating historical information, performing distribution fitting and Bayesian analysis. By the end of the series, attendees will be well-equipped to analyse flood data with enhanced accuracy and confidence.

In addition to core flood frequency analysis techniques, the course covers a range of advanced topics including nonstationary analysis, peaks-over-threshold methods, mixture models, and model averaging. These topics will provide participants with a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in modern hydrological analysis to address more sophisticated challenges.

Each session features live demonstrations and real-world examples, allowing participants to see how the techniques are applied in practice. Interactive discussions and practical exercises ensure that attendees can immediately apply what they’ve learned to their own projects. By the end of the course, participants will have gained a comprehensive set of skills for tackling both basic and advanced flood frequency analysis.
