HEC-RAS is a computer program that models the hydraulics of water flow through natural rivers and other channels. The program is one-dimensional, meaning that there is no direct modeling of the hydraulic effect of cross section shape changes, bends, and other two- and three-dimensional aspects of flow. The program was developed by the US Department of Defense, Army Corps of Engineers in order to manage the rivers, harbors, and other public works under their jurisdiction; it has found wide acceptance by many others since its public release in 1995.

Many factors influencing the movement of ice such as wind, ice concentration, ice thickness, roughness, water currents, Coriolis force, bathymetry, artificial and natural obstacles in the area. Current speeds in the Caspian Sea are relatively small and so the main driving force for ice movements is wind. Therefore, main goal of this work was to study wind-ice movement velocities dependence in the region and check how ice concentration and thickness influence on the movement of ice. A high number of measurements and observations was made to describe ice drift in the region, although the data was collected areas and usually not publicly available. In our work, we have used timely consequent optical and SAR satellite images to observe ice movements and its displacement over the area. Wind data for the same period and area was taken from wind models. Ice charts were prepared using visual interpretation of satellite imagery. Ice information (concentration, stage of development, floe size) were stored as vector data in SIGRID3 format. The described data has been correlated and analyzed. The analysis provided in the work can be used for the forecast of short term ice drift on the operational basis and can be the first step for creation of ice drift forecast model for the region of North Caspian Sea. The used data, methods and results of the study are described in this paper.

This narrated PowerPoint presentation describes a HEC-RAS 2-D unsteady-flow flood model set up for the tidally-influenced Little River in Newburyport and Newbury, Massachusetts. It describes the steps in developing inputs to the HEC-RAS model including using HEC-HMS rainfall-runoff modeling and GIS in developing inputs to HEC-HMS. The HEC-RAS model was calibrated using the Mother's Day flood of May 2006. The HEC-RAS model may be used to evaluate impacts associated with proposed changes in culvert sizes or changing embankment elevations near or at problem flood areas and can also be used to determine the changes in river hydraulics associated with sea level rise and climate change.

3. Integrated Catchment Management - Conceptual understanding

Environmental Protection Agency, Ireland

This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to: • Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale; • Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and • Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

APA Florida

Marshall Flynn With an updated Evacuation Study for each of the 11 regions, Florida has one of the only statewide evacuation studies in the Nation. This session will educate participants on its fundamentals, including HOW and WHY it was created and its implementation across a variety of planning disciplines. Explanations of the major components of the Evacuation Study, including its complex evacuation transportation models, statewide coordination, behavioral surveys, and associated behavioral assumptions and advanced GIS modeling tools. Planners will gain a better understanding of the purpose, data and methodology of the Studies and how to implement its findings in their planning documents.

GrowSmart Maine

Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react? When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure. This is the dollars and sense of smart growth. Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change. After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so. The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.

Mapping maritime activities within the Baltic Sea

Pan Baltic Scope / Baltic SCOPE

If you want to know how to make maps like these, check out our report Mapping Maritime Activities within the SCOPE Planning Area. It explains the key steps to create shipping density maps, from raw data, cleaning and sorting by month, to making the actual maps. And the code is open source and will be available on GitHub. The report also includes some reflections on mapping fisheries and renewable energy, mainly wind power, in the Baltic Sea region. We have processed and made available shipping density maps and data spanning ten years, from year 2006 to 2015. All maps are available through the HELCOM AIS Explorer - http://maps.helcom.fi/website/AISexplorer/index.html. The maps were created from quality controlled AIS data, Automatic Identification System data. The data allows you to compare the shipping data by months and by ship types.

Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA): From Portsmouth Respons...

Kurt Schwehr

In 2007, a small UNH team put together a prototype emergency response web application using open source tools on a Mac Desktop and later a Mac Mini. That system, called Portsmouth Response, was designed to assist in the first hours of an environmental incident by providing easy access to basic GIS layers without requiring GIS experts. This system generalized and renamed to ERMA, begin deployed as prototypes in the Caribbean and participating in the Spill Of National Significance (SONS) drill in New England during March 2010. Before the team could evaluate the performance during the SONS drill, the Deepwater Horizon platform exploded in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20, 2010. Four days later, the ERMA team was called in for 24x7 support of NOAA and USCG operations to handle the incident. ERMA went from prototype system to being the system providing the Common Operational Picture (COP) is just a few weeks. In early June, NOAA setup a system to mirror the unrestricted datasets for the public on the GeoPlatform system. The presentation describes how ERMA is designed and how it was used during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill incident.
