Subject: New "Coastal Inundation Mapping" class added! Register now! (Jan 29-30, Olympia) Date: November 8, 2017 at 2:12:23 PM PST Reply-To: "Cathy Angell" <[email protected]> (This email is being sent to the CTP Announcement List.) Due to popular demand, we have opened a second "Coastal Inundation Mapping"class. This class will be taught by national trainers from NOAA and held on January 29-30 at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia. The cost is $150 and includes lunch and all materials. If you’re an AICP member, you’ll earn 13 CM credits. Comments from past participants: "I had previously dealt with filling DEMs and deriving watersheds, so this training got me into the nuts and bolts of where water actually goes, and how to deal with V-datums." "Showed me better ways (actually the correct ways) of doing the things I have been doing all along, and taught me new methods of obtaining data and imagery." "A better understanding of the tools that I can use to look at how coastal inundation can affect restoration, cleanup and development projects." If the class fills before you have a chance to sign up, be sure and add your name to the waiting list. Sincerely, Cathy Angell, Coordinator Coastal Training Program | Padilla Bay NERR | Department of Ecology 360-428-1075 | www.coastaltraining-wa.org | [email protected] Coastal Inundation Mapping Prerequisite: One or more years of GIS experience. This 2-day hands-on training provides an introduction to coastal inundation and coastal inundation mapping methods using GIS. Topics include discussion about different types of coastal inundation (i.e., riverine flooding, shallow coastal flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, tsunami), selection of elevation datasets and datums, mapping fundamentals, spatial methodologies used to map flood areas in a coastal environment, and applications and limitations of various types of inundation products. Upon completion of the class, you will be able to: a.. Understand mapping for different types of coastal inundation b.. Understand mapping terminology c.. Access topographic and bathymetric data d.. Perform datum conversions e.. Understand interpolation methods and create digital elevation models f.. Understand coastal and ocean observation data and their applications g.. Map coastal inundation using a GIS h.. Map sea level rise using a modeled tidal surface i.. Understand online mapping technology Coastal Inundation Mapping is a technical class focused specifically on data development rather than data use, and therefore requires GIS experience. (13 AICP CM Credits/ CEP Points) Lunch is provided. National Instructor from NOAA: Matt Pendleton is a GIS Trainer with the NOAA Office for Coastal Management in Charleston, South Carolina. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Marine Science from Coastal Carolina University and a Master’s Degree in Environmental Studies from the Graduate School at the College of Charleston. He works on a variety of hazard related topics with primary responsibilities including working with the coastal resource management community to build GIS and mapping capacity in the areas of coastal hazards and climate change.
