Probable maximum precipitation (PMP) in risk management
With Yusuke Hiraga (Tohoku University) and Miguel Lagos-Zúñiga: use of PMP for tailings storage facilities and large reservoirs.
The UTFSM Hydrology Group invited everyone to a talk on how probable maximum precipitation (PMP) has evolved and how it is applied in risk management.
Dr. Yusuke Hiraga (Tohoku University, Japan) shared his career researching PMP and its applications in different regions and climates. Professor Miguel Lagos-Zúñiga presented recent experience in Chile using PMP as a design and verification criterion for tailings storage facilities and large reservoirs, under stationary and climate change conditions.
The talk was an opportunity for academia and industry to share views on the challenges and applications of PMP in managing critical infrastructure under climate change.
