Climate & Change Analysis

Design assumptions built on a stationary climate no longer hold, and a new generation of tools has emerged to deal with it: climate-projection access layers, statistical downscaling packages, non-stationary frequency analysis and drought/heat indices. This category indexes the tools engineers and hydrologists use to bring climate change into practical design — not climate science for its own sake, but change analysis you can defend in a design report.
