How Municipalities Are Using Emerging Technology to Adapt to Climate Change

Join us as we explore how municipal engineers, researchers and the private sector are using digital maps and scientific sensors to design natural and built infrastructure that work together to adapt to climate change.

Panelists will give short presentations followed by questions and answers from 9 am to 9:30 am followed by a 45 minute demonstration and talk on the following topics:

1. How to use a GIS screening tool to prioritize Low Impact Development projects.
2. How to create a digital twin using different Levels of Detail (LoD) to improve flood risk assessment.
3. How to use data analysis and mapping tools to develop a flood-forecasting system for conservation authorities.
4. Demonstration of a climate station and how the Internet of Things (IoT) point-to-cloud water flow data is used to understand the impact of flash flood events on municipal infrastructure.
