This comprehensive 3-part 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.

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.

Throughout the course, the presenters will demonstrate the features and functionalities of RMC-BestFit using real-world examples, allowing participants to see how the techniques are applied in practice. By the end of the course, participants will be well-equipped to analyse flood data with enhanced accuracy and confidence.
