Webinar on hydrodynamics observation and modelling in the Caribbean

Within the framework of the CARIB-COAST project (Caribbean network for coastal risks related with climate change), the Bureau of Geological and Mining Research (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières - BRGM) is hosting an online webinar on hydrodynamics observation and modelling in the Caribbean.

Date: Thursday 8th September 2022.

Time: 7:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.(GMT-5)

Agenda :

• Fundamentals on the physical processes that play a major role in coastal flooding.
• Coastal processes observations and measurement campaigns in the Caribbean.
• Focus on the state of the art techniques for accurate modelling of a wide range of scenarios, from hurricanes to tsunamis strikes, at different spatial scales and providing examples of applications in the Caribbean.
• Fundamentals of ocean and climate modelling.
• Review of the progress and challenges when modelling hydrodynamic conditions around the Caribbean islands.

Time: 7:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.(GMT-5)

The CARIB-COAST project is piloted by Guadeloupe’s BRGM and financed by the European funds program for the regional development INTERREG. The main goal is to deploy a Caribbean network for prevention and crisis management of coastal risks that arise with climate change. The main subjects covered are coastal protection amid extreme climatic events such as hurricanes and tsunamis, the fight against coastal erosion, the fight against climate change, the anticipation of risks through modelisation or the monitoring of coastal dynamics.
