Land subsidence and differential settlement are critical phenomena often associated with major shifts in moisture content within the soil. These occurrences are frequently linked to the infiltration of significant amounts of water into the soil or the dewatering of specific types of rocks, particularly fine-grained sediments. Learning about differential settlement is important for infrastructure integrity, public safety, risk management and environmental impact.

NEW! PEI's State of the Coast and Interim Coastal Policy Recommendations are out, with a lot to accelerate strategic #coastalrisk management in the province (and Canada!). Recommendations (that the provincial government has accepted): ✅Shoreline Management Plans (SMP) for PEI's 17 littoral cells ✅Restriction of development to areas with an approved SMP ✅Nature-based Solutions to reduce coastal risk ✅Relocation program and buy out program in Coastal Buffer Zones ✅Clear communication with residents regarding risks... and more! Pretty much what is on my coastal wish list! State of the Coast: https://lnkd.in/dc83PWQU Interim Recommendations: https://lnkd.in/dMsT-yha Amazing work Government of Prince Edward Island, University of Prince Edward Island, Steven Myers, Peter Nishimura, Hope Parnham and teams. Other provinces should take note. We will be drawing on this as we work with Standards Council of Canada (SCC) to develop national guidance on Shoreline Management Planning!

Sep 23. The importance of decision gates on projects is evident in Cataraqui sinking(Australian maritime disaster). Not overlooking decision gates could have avoided the outcome.

⛰Landslides cost Aotearoa New Zealand an average $250 million each year and have resulted in more fatalities than earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunami combined. 📣 Today GNS Science has released Landslide Planning Guidance: Reducing Landslide Risk through Land-Use Planning. 🌏 This Guidance sets out how land-use planning can use the right information on landslides to inform the right development in the right place that supports a safe, resilient, and prosperous New Zealand in a future of increasing landslide hazards due to climate change. Read more about the Guidance here 👇 https://lnkd.in/gCqTUzSW 🗣 Scott Kelly Saskia de Vilder Phil Glassey

Advocating for collaborating across borders and silos with skills as entrepreneur, lawyer and former diplomat
Leadership from PEI - a province dear to me in so many ways. Friends, family all live there. What I take from this is a more holistic approach that really thinks through a planned approach to adaptation and resilience. Recommendations that include a Framework, not just recommendations of various options, as described in the Introduction: " [The Framework] establishes a system in which options for coastal zone management and adaptation strategies are ranked according to priorities. The framework emphasizes proactive and preventative measures to prevent further actions that increase the province’s coastal vulnerability. The framework also addresses current challenges while promoting sustainable new development opportunities and bolstering coastal ecosystem resilience."

Don't miss out on this exclusive opportunity to learn from the best in the industry! Join Tom Smiley, Senior Arboriculture Researcher for F.A. Bartlett Tree Experts, for an Arbor Chat session on Tree Risk Assessment Best Management Practice. 🌿 Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 5th at 4:30pm PT - you won't want to miss this! Register Here: https://ow.ly/FN9b50QHl2N Dr. Smiley will be detailing changes in the soon-to-be released revision of the ISA’s Best Management Practice (BMP) for Tree Risk Assessment. The BMP is revised on a regular basis to keep it up to date with changes in our knowledge of tree risk assessment. It serves as the foundation for the highly successful Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), so changes to the BMP will also show up in the Tree Risk Assessment Manual and TRAQ class. In this revision is a greater differentiation among Tree Risk Assessors (TRA), tree inspectors and working arborists; clarification of TRA responsibilities; more information on occupancy rates and the likelihood of impact; changes to the weather categories; and inter-rater reliability. If you are already a Qualified Tree Risk Assessor this session will prepare you for your next renewal class and keep you updated on changes. #arborist #arboriculter #ArborChat #TreeRiskAssessment #CEUCredits

So proud of this whole team and the incredible work they do. I’m just fit to burst. The FRC is so important because it helps us understand site specific flood risk at any scale - we can tweak what we know at any level and still look at the big picture without sacrificing the quality or integrity of the assessment. This scalable framework is critical for confident decision making and that’s why we developed it. We didn’t like having black boxes we couldn’t “break” and fully understand. But here we have something so powerful, that we can use it to compare different alternatives over time, and also understand key thresholds and timing for when we want to be taking action on risk. This phasing of action can be extremely supportive in implementation planning, where we understand what we should be doing when, calibrating with real data and based on how projections may change over time, and help people not feel so overwhelmed by the magnitude of challenges they’re facing.
At Arcadis we take tremendous pride in our thought leaders; check out our most recent 🖐️ High Five staring ⭐️ Heather Sprague, PE When assessing the impacts of flooding, we start by understanding the exposure of an asset, such as a home or business to a specific flood event. We then think about the vulnerability of that asset, and we work to quantify the consequences of that vulnerability, often by using industry standard depth damage functions for various asset types.

Very proud to announce the release of a new report to advance sustainable stormwater management - the Socioeconomic Value of Urban Stormwater Capture. The report is the result of a partnership with an academic research team at Ceto Consulting. Much thanks to their team, CASQA’s Joseph Draper, Jim Rasmus, the Stormwater Capture and Use Subcommittee, and CASQA’s engaged membership for contributing to this important work. The report uses case studies from diverse geographic regions in California to monetize the socioeconomic value of several benefits - beyond flood control and augmented water supply. Key Takeaways: - The annual dollar value of the benefits estimated in this report alone exceeded the total cost of the project. In other words, all of these projects have a one-year payoff. - The non-market value of the socioeconomic benefits of urban stormwater capture projects can be maximized by siting these projects in areas of highest need. A project which creates urban green space in a high-need area will maximize benefits to the community. #casqa
