Prerequisite: One or more years of GIS experience.

 

This 2-day hands-on training provides an introduction to coastal inundation and coastal inundation mapping methods using GIS. Topics include discussion about different types of coastal inundation (i.e., riverine flooding, shallow coastal flooding, sea level rise, storm surge, tsunami), selection of elevation datasets and datums, mapping fundamentals, spatial methodologies used to map flood areas in a coastal environment, and applications and limitations of various types of inundation products.

Upon completion of the class, you will be able to:

  • Understand mapping for different types of coastal inundation 
  • Understand mapping terminology
  • Access topographic and bathymetric data
  • Perform datum conversions
  • Understand interpolation methods and create digital elevation models
  • Understand coastal and ocean observation data and their applications
  • Map coastal inundation using a GIS
  • Map sea level rise using a modeled tidal surface
  • Understand online mapping technology


Coastal Inundation Mapping is a technical class focused specifically on data development rather than data use, and therefore requires GIS experience.

Lunch is provided.
