Standardizing Sea-Level Scenarios for Gulf of Mexico Projects

February 11, 2016 from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

The Northern Gulf of Mexico Sentinel Site Cooperative is happy to announce the first webinar in the webinar/workshop series "Standardizing Sea-Level Scenarios for Gulf of Mexico Projects."

Very often projects involving sea-level rise start out with the same question - how much sea-level rise and by when? Often the processes of determining which scenarios takes a great deal of time. Additionally, different projects settle on different scenarios making it difficult to compare results between projects.  The Cooperative partners have identified addressing this issue as a priority goal for 2016.

The Cooperative would like to invite experts in SLR and those who frequently work on SLR projects in the Gulf to come to collaborate in identifying recommended scenarios.  The goal is a suite of recommended scenarios for use across a variety of projects as well as a brief user guide to encourage their use on the Gulf Coast.

This process will take time and instead of dealing with such a large issue with such a large group in one meeting, we are planning a series of webinars and workshops.  The first webinar will happen in February 11th at 10 am CST and it will be a background/kick off webinar addressing the series goals and outlining national, regional, and local scenarios.
