This exhibit focuses on the floodplains in Great Seneca Stream Valley Park & North Germantown Greenway Park. Floodplain benefits revealed during peak flood events are captured on April 30 & May 16, 2014. Maps show where proposed M-83 Master Plan Alignment would impact multiple floodplain areas within Great Seneca Creek Watershed. To construct M-83 through these forested ecosystems would accelerate peak storm water discharge downstream.

Congres “Planning our Green Heritage” – March 27, 2012 at De Schorre – Boom, Belgium
Essex Country Council is preparing a vision for the whole of South Essex, highlighting the main Green Heritage sites and their relationship to the train line and the Thames Estuary Path. Several projects will link up to numerous other greenspaces, cycle ways, footpaths, nature reserves, heritage sites and marshlands in what is called the “South Essex Greengrid”. This is a project linking all the open spaces throughout South Essex from Thurrock to Southend.
Measure K is the voter approved half-cent sales tax for transportation projects in the San Joaquin region. Since 1990, it has financed numerous highway projects, pedestrian-friendly projects, bike paths, and local road improvements throughout San Joaquin County and has generated millions in new revenues for rail and public transit networks.
Hastings Way Redevelopment by Jeremy Gragert volumeone
Way back in 2006, Eau Claire citizen Jeremy Gragert created a proposal to increase bicycle/pedestrian access along and across Hastings Way, add area beautification, and increase general safety. He focused on the stretch between Birch Street and East Clairemont Avenue. This is the PowerPoint presentation he used while speaking to various local groups.
The Huntington Levee is located at 5755 Mt. Vernon Drive, Alexandria, and provides a 2,800-foot levee along Cameron Run to protect the community from flooding associated with storms of up to at least a 100-year event. The levee is made up of a 10- to 15-foot high earthen embankment with a 4-foot high concrete I-wall which caps the steel sheet piles embedded in the embankment. The project also includes a 5,300 square foot mechanical pump station that houses three 42.5 million gallon per day axial flow pumps for the larger storm events and three 8,000 gallon per minute low flow pumps for base flows and smaller storms. Upgrades to the Farrington Park playground and a network of connecting trails was included in the project. The new levee infrastructure has been operational since spring 2019 and recently provided flood protection for the adjacent homes and community during the major rainfall event of July 8, 2019.
The project achieved the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure Envision Bronze Award and has been recognized with the National Capital Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers Sustainable Project/Program of the Year Award for 2019.
On Friday, March 19, 2021, ICLR conducted a Friday Forum webinar titled 'Solutions for Tantramar marshes flooding', led by Dr. Jeff 0llerhead, Professor, Geography and Environment Department, Mount Allison University.
Most former salt marshes in the Tantramar region of Atlantic Canada are now protected by dykes and are used primarily for agriculture. This has been true for decades to centuries and, as such, their elevation can be as much as 2 m below that of undyked salt marshes in the region. The key environmental drivers shaping the marshes are changing over time with climate change. The rate of relative sea level (RSL) rise is accelerating and there is some evidence that storms are becoming more frequent and sea ice is diminishing. The risk of a catastrophic dyke failure and associated flooding increases each year. Risk from inland flooding is also increasing.
Possible solutions include a combination of: (i) raise and reenforce the dyke system, (ii) realign existing dykes and restore salt marshes to provide natural protection, and (iii) remove existing dykes and allow the system to return to a natural state. The highest priority for managing our salt marshes should be to provide them with sufficient accommodation space into which they can transgress naturally.
Jeff 0llerhead is a member of the Geography and Environment Department at Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB. He is a coastal geomorphologist who studies beaches and salt marshes. In recent years, he has been particularly involved in designing and monitoring salt marsh restorations in the upper Bay of Fundy.

“Transform transportation” is the Vision of the Broward MPO 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan. The Plan’s success is dependent upon public-private partnerships to transform Broward County through transit-supportive, pedestrian-friendly redevelopment. The Broward MPO will present real-life examples of collaboration
with the public, and coordination with local municipalities and the private sector. The presentation will instruct planners how to develop partnerships that lead to citizens and stakeholders
“owning” plans and taking the lead in implementation. Transformation projects include the City of Oakland Park’s Main Street and Fort Lauderdale Downtown Development Authority’s
The WAVE Streetcar and Urban Oasis projects.

Green infrastructure policy for stormwater infiltrationEvan Pratt
Viewers will get an overview of policy changes to require infiltration as a strategy to address stormwater quality and quantity in Washtenaw County, along with a link to a wide range of resources including the 150+ page regulations and case studies that show cost savings for greenfield developments. Design storms have increased nearly 20% in volume in the past 30 years in the target area, so existing infrastructure no longer meets the needs it was designed for. Older infrastructure was already overwhelmed.
Green street maintenance and innovative designEvan Pratt
An estimated 50+% of stormwater pollution comes from municipal streets. Viewers will learn how different communities are infiltrating stormwater in municipal rights-of-way, why that is cost-effective, and how to maintain green infrastructure and infiltration areas.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
