The event will take place on 25 September 2014 in New York City at the Faculty House at Columbia University. Coinciding with the UN General Assembly, the inaugural meeting of…
The conference will provide an excellent opportunity for participants to share their experiences and learn from each other. About 60 oral presentations and 40 posters are expected during the conference. Keynote speakers of international recognition will address each of the thematic areas.
Theme: “Forest for livelihood prosperity in the face of climate…
Climate adaptation engineering (CAE) considers the risks of a changing climate to develop technological and engineering solutions to reduce vulnerability and build resilience in cities and coasts.
Climate adaptation engineering uses a range of decision pathways for planning, design, construction, maintenance and renewal of the built environment, and pr…
The objective of the workshop is to establish the current baseline with regard to the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management in fisheries and aquaculture activities and policies in Southern and Eastern Africa, and, vice versa, of the integration of fisheries and aquaculture in climate change adaptation and disaster risk ma…
As part of a collaborative project between Quezon City (Philippines) and Earthquakes and Megacities Initiative (EMI) to develop a local disaster risk reduction and management plan (LDRRMP), a two-day workshop will be organized for hands-on exercise on integration of DRR-CCA in land use planning for Quezon City's technical planners and other technical st…
Delaware faces multiple challenges from climate change that impact physical, ecological, economic, and cultural aspects of the entire state. Effect in Delaware will likely include more extreme weather events, sea level rise, and warmer temperatures. These changes are likely to magnify many of the hazards we already face which is a reason to be prepare…
This e-learning course focuses on disaster risk management (DRM) at the city level. Participants will learn, in particular, about planning and decision making under uncertainty and how to make their cities more resilient to climate change impacts and natural disasters. The course provides cutting edge tools on vulnerability assessment, institutional ass…
This conference is dedicated to the study and exposition of the status and prospects of engineering in support of a bright future for humanity in the midst of a rapidly changing and uncertain environment, both physical and sociological due to climate change.
Engineering for adaptation:
Programs and measures to reduce GHG emissions will simply slow th…
Background
EARSeL’s special interest group on imaging spectroscopy is a forum whose aim is to encourage international discussions among specialists working with this innovative earth observation technology. The forum was founded by EARSeL at the University of Zurich in 1999, led by RSL, who conducted the first workshop. Since then, five more very succe…
The character of the proposed forum programme provides attendees with a unique chance to examine mangrove restoration and management initiatives in the region.
Aim
The GMRP aims to respond to climate change and to mitigate its effects through the protection, rehabilitation and wise use of Guyana's mangrove ecosystems.
Objective
The objective of this f…
The international conference will promote the debate of relevant issues among engineers and researchers in soil and rock mechanics and in environmental fields. An important challenge for scientists is not only to advance in the knowledge on technical matters but also to promote the teaching of these aspects in a wide sense and to increase the awareness…
The 11th annual climate prediction applications science workshop (CPASW) will convene in Logan, Utah, and focus on “Climate Information for Natural Resource Management.” This theme will integrate broad aspects of climate information applications in water, land, forest, wildlife, habitat, energy, and other natural resources management. Climate is a cross…
