Webinars

This free 1 hour webinar presented in Portuguese, will bring the definition of concepts about water losses in supply systems, what are their main causes and how is the national scenario in this regard. It will present the main tools that can help to reduce physical losses in Water Supply Systems. Case studies will be shown where hydraulic modeling tools were used bringing excellent results in a short time period. 15:00 - 16:00 UTC (11am EST) https://zoom.us/meeting/register/65c96ad221d975e17c24e00bf0acd2b8

Following the launch of the new MIKE URBAN+ earlier in the year, join senior urban modeller Rathika Jebamony as she takes you through the new interface, providing tips and tricks along the way, including the main differences between the new interface and the older MIKE URBAN classic interface. 0:00-0:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZST)

The compounded negative effects of coastal flooding and erosion are why coastal regions have been challenged more than ever in recent years to plan, prepare and adapt for changed flood risks – now and in the future. During this free 30 minute webinar, gain powerful insight on how modelling technology can offer a holistic approach to decision support and enable true adaptation to be achieved. 15:00 UTC (11:00AM EST)

This free, one-hour webinar provides an introduction to the different approaches of modeling green infrastructure in MIKE URBAN and their effect on different types of storm events. In addition, you are introduced to storm water quality and treatment options. The webinar encompasses all types of the green infrastructure practices on the local level thus including bio-retention cells, rain gardens, green roofs, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, rain barrels and vegetative swales. 16:00-17:00 UTC (12pm EST)

Join this free, three-quarters of an hour webinar that will introduce you to the ECO Lab module, an advanced modelling framework that will allow you to assess a number of water quality and ecosystem related issues. Through a number of examples we will demonstrate and discuss how the ECO Lab model has been successfully applied for a wide number of applications. Fee: Free-of-charge. Time: 06:00-07:00 UTC.

Join this free 45-minute webinar, where you can learn why ABM Lab is the tool of choice for agent-based modelling. We will demonstrate the main benefits of the ABM Lab module and highlight the possibilities of agent-based models while demonstrating how ABM Lab can facilitate the development of new ABMs. Time: 15:00-16:00 UTC.

In this webinar, you will hear how remote sensing could be used to produce accurate and seamless maps of water quality, including algae blooms and suspended matter content. Remote-sensing is increasingly becoming the popular method to detect water quality in both fresh and coastal environments. 23:00-23:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZDT)

In this webinar, you will hear how Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) could be used to estimate health risks and develop guidelines to protect public health. Exposure to contaminated water is an important route for the transmission of diarrhoeal pathogens, in addition to the cause of other illnesses such as respiratory, skin rash, earache, and eye irritations. 23:00-23:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZDT)

Join this free 45-minute webinar for an introduction to a very ‘hot’ environmental topic - managing the impacts of underwater noise. Gain insight as to why the effects of underwater noise have become such an important environmental issue. We will share the fundamentals of a “risk-based approach” which is believed to be the most proactive way to address such noise impacts. Time: 06:00-07:00 UTC

In this webinar, you will hear how Agent Based Modelling (ABM) could be used to identify the best sites to place cleanup systems so as to trap the maximum amount of plastics. International case studies will be presented. It is estimated that more than 4.8 million tonnes of plastics were floating in marine environments in 2010. This number is expected to increase by 50-fold by 2100. Cleanup systems need to be actively deployed to collect the plastic litter in the marine environment. 23:00-23:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZDT)
