As extreme climatic events such as droughts are becoming more frequent and demands for water are increasing world-wide, it is projected that as many as 3.5 billion people could experience water scarcity by 2025. In Australia, changes in climate and land use as well as multi-year droughts, such as the Millennium Drought that ended in…
Presented by Jeff Essic, Data & Visualization Librarian | NC State University ArcGIS Desktop, Pro and Online provide a lot of out-of-the-box functionality, but did you know that there's also a lot more you have access to through various installs and add-ons? This Studio will look at some of the additional products provided through NC…
Join us for a special Geospatial Forum and panel presentation event:"Just Sustainabilities and the Future of North Carolina: how does who can belong determine what the state can become?" Julian Agyeman of Tufts University will first present "Just Sustainabilities in Policy, Planning and Practice," outlining his concept of "just sustainabilities"––the full integration of social justice…
In heavily forested environments, the digital deletion of vegetation through lidar remote sensing and the generation of bare-earth digital elevation models has enhanced our abilities to observe and quantify geologic hazards. In this forum Dr. Wegmann will present examples from studies in Washington, Colorado, and North Carolina where lidar datasets allow for improved identification and…

Seasonal (0-3 months) climate forecasts and near-term decadal (10-30 years) climate change projections provide valuable information for improving seasonal and long-term planning of water and energy management. Given that the climatic attributes over these time periods are typically expressed as probabilistic information, we propose an adaptive water and energy management framework that uses probabilistic inflow…
