Reviews

"This edited volume is comprised of 13 chapters emerging from a wide range of topics on detecting extremes, trend analysis and associated uncertainties with such analysis. ... The organization of the text makes it useful equally as a graduate textbook and as a reference book. ... Extremes in a Changing Climate: Detection, Analysis and Uncertainty successfully goes beyond achieving its objectives and goals, and makes for a great read." (S. E. Ahmed, Technometrics, Vol. 57 (1), February, 2015)
