Are you interested in the mysteries just beneath the surface of our unexplored waterways? If so, then you’re in for a show! Join AMI Consulting Engineers (AMI), Environment and Climate Change (ECCC) and the @Lake of the Woods Water Sustainability Foundation (LOWWSF) for this installment of the informative ‘Ask an Expert’ webinar series: Exploring the Murky Depths: Bathymetry Studies in the Lower Rainy.’ AMI’s Coastal Department manager Zac Morris, and Field Services Lead Jordan Vargas, present on the many challenges, and the amazing results found from their bathymetry surveys in the Rainy River. The presentation discusses how the results can be applied to improve water management models for the future. Some information presented by two of our top specialists includes: • Bathymetric Survey’s • Fish Finders vs Multi-Beam Survey Equipment • The Scope of the Rainy River Project • Technology Used in the Study • The Challenges and Hazards Posed by the Rainy River • A Day in the Life of the Surveyors • And Much More! Huge shout out to our friends at the ECCC and the LOWWSF. They do amazing work! To get a deep dive look at what goes into the conservational efforts of water management, the hard data, and the many people that make it all happen, check out the video linked below! https://lnkd.in/g-2Zm6Cz #AMIConsultingEngineers #WaterSustainability #WaterManagement #LakeoftheWoods #Surveying #Environmental

What’s better than a living shoreline? A living shoreline designed to withstand rising sea level! Coastal Virginia is experiencing the highest rate of relative sea level rise on the East Coast, leading to loss of land, saltwater intrusion, drowning wetlands, and flooding. To help address the problem, Wetlands Watch convened dozens of living shoreline experts over about a year to produce the Designing Living Shorelines for Sea Level Rise in Virginia: A Resource for Practitioners. Green Fin Studio team members participated in the meetings as well as designing the final document, which contains best practices and real-world case studies for resilient shorelines.

We expand an approach the map the Wildland-Urban Interface in Portugal. Different approaches classified common Wildland-Urban Interface areas but varied elsewhere. Wildland-Urban Interface distribution affects wildfire exposure. Wildland-Urban Interface configuration and extent vary across regions. Bruno, B., Sandra, O., Mário, C., & Jorge, R. (2024). Mapping the wildland-urban interface at municipal level for wildfire exposure analysis in mainland Portugal. Journal of Environmental Management, 368, 122098. https://lnkd.in/dFN2ShFE

New paper alert! I am happy to share the publication of a new coastal erosion model: Numerical model of coastal Erosion by Waves and Transgressive Scarps (NEWTS). NEWTS simulates coastline erosion in detachment-limited environments driven by two processes: 1) uniform erosion, where coastline erosion is constant, representing processes such as dissolution and backwasting; and 2) wave-driven erosion, where coastline erosion is a function of the wave power, represented here by the fetch. This model can be used to evaluate how coastline changes reflect climate, sea-level history, material properties, and the relative influence of different erosional processes. Check out the article and code to use the model. And feel free to reach out with questions! Article: https://lnkd.in/gQ4ftCNF Model code: https://lnkd.in/g-AwpKaq

The spread of fire is often tied to the flame…it is the biggest visual representation. Yet, the speed of its spread is less to do the with the flame. There is open wisdom in a common church camp song shared around a campfire, “it only takes a spark to get a fire going.” Tiny embers float and often find new fuel sources that then ignite. Tiny embers + vegetation near home; tiny embers + wooden decks/fences; tiny embers + non-screened vents allowing embers into the attic. Fire science and residential safety remain important areas of research to keep people and communities safe!
