Abstract
Abstract- In this paper an overview is given of the statistical methods which are needed to analyse observed environmetric data with a particular interest for the extreme values. The methods for trend analysis, stationarity tests, seasonality analysis, long-memory studies will be presented, critically reviewed, applied to some existing datasets, and compared.
