CaGIS+UCGIS Symposium

America’s coastal communities, ecosystems, and infrastructure face increasing hazards from sea level rise. This workshop is geared towards faculty and studentsinterested in learning and/or teaching about resiliency planning around coastal flooding and sea level rise. We’ll explore questions such as “What do future sea level rise scenarios look like in my community? Is the land that Ihelp manage going to be impacted? How do we understand the impacts so we can appropriately develop our resilience plan? What areas will be impacted first? How do I visualize this information for community stakeholders that will generate support for our mitigation plans?”
In the workshop, we will utilize authoritative sea level rise resources produced by NOAA alongside ArcGISOnline to visualize Sea Level Rise layers, conduct analysis of critical facilities, view results, and produce compelling3D visualizations.
This is an interactive, in-person, hands-on workshop where we use a case-study and walk through the steps online solutions to better understand flooding impacts.
You will learn to assess and compare sea level risescenarios and to conduct impact assessments to help prioritize resiliency and mitigation efforts in the first halfof the workshop. In the second half, you will learn to build a 3D digital twin and use it to visualize scenarios and impacts.
