Details

TRB will conduct a webinar on Wednesday, February 6, 2019, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that will discuss how transportation planners can adapt to the changes in natural systems. Coastal states are suffering increased rates of flooding from gradual changes in sea level and extreme storms. State departments of transportation and local infrastructure agencies often struggle to keep up with these increased rates of flooding. Presenters will discuss the latest projections of sea level rise and the changing understanding about tracking and predicting sea level rise impacts. They will also describe adaptive planning techniques to these changes through case studies from shorelines and transportation corridors in California and Georgia. Presenters will identify how to use predictive modeling and shoreline monitoring to plan for more resilient transportation infrastructure, determine how to use adaptive management techniques, and highlight permitting issues that arise when infrastructure adaptation meets ecosystem needs.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Ecology and Transportation.

Some registrants will need to pay $95 to attend this webinar.  Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.

Webinar Presenters

  • Fraser Shilling, University of California at Davis
  • Jan Mackinnon, Georgia Department of Natural Resources
  • Justin Vandever, AECOM
  • Kimberly Andrews, University of Georgia

Moderated by: Fraser Shilling, University of California at Davis

Webinar Outline

  1. Overview of sea level rise and storm-related flooding, including impact and cost projections for the future and ways that states are considering adapting
  2. Predictive modeling, including data inputs to map outputs, and considerations in using these types of models in decisionmaking
  3. How ecological and infrastructure systems interact on the shoreline
  4. Phasing and types of adaptive responses that could suit the rate and extent of vulnerability and threats to shoreline infrastructure
  5. Potential conflicts between permitting and construction needs and potential solutions
  1. Question and answer session

The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Explain how natural and infrastructure systems on the shoreline are potentially impacted by increasing rates of excessive flooding
  • Describe potential adaptations to increase system resilience
