ABSTRACT:
We studied climate change dynamics in southwestern Poland. The authors based the assessment of
dynamics on the results of flood risk analyses. 30-day flow maxima were selected for three 10-year periods
based on hydrological data on daily flows from 1986 to 2015 from the hydrological station on the Oder
River in the town of Malczyce. By utilizing the selected maxima as well as selected maximum value
distributions, probabilistic models of extreme flows were constructed for the three studied periods – each
divided into six-month periods of “summer” and “winter.” The estimated models were used to calculate
measurements of flood risks in the analyzed periods. We analyzed the studied area on the basis of the
results the dynamics of flood risks.
