This chapter presents some basic concepts about univariate and multivariate extreme value theory (EVT). Through a series of extreme data analysis, univariate and multivariate basic concepts are presented in an environmental context. These concepts can be extended to the spatial case through max‐stable fields. Climate sciences is one of the main fields of applications of EVT, but hydrology, finance, and assurance, can also be included. The chapter presents a series of examples that are treated to exemplify how the probability theory can help the practitioner to make inferences about extreme quantiles within a multivariate context. It also discusses analog of block maxima results. Inference on such processes can be obtained using composite likelihood as described in Lindsay and Varin for an application in an extreme value context with an illustration on US precipitation extremes and for an illustration on annual maximum snow depth.
