Preparing for Climate Change and Sea Level Rise, a North Hampton, NH Case Study

 

This presentation will review the results of an innovative hydrologic and hydraulic evaluation of the Philbrick Pond Saltmarsh drainage basin in North Hampton, NH, funded by the Town of North Hampton and an NHDES Coastal Program/NOAA grant.  The evaluation addressed predicted flooding severity from extreme rainfall events and from astronomical high tides and ocean storm surges, both at current sea levels and at ranges of projected sea level rise in 2050 and 2100.  The presentation will broadly touch upon what we know and don’t yet know about future impacts of sea level rise on infrastructure and public safety planning in various municipalities in the New Hampshire Seacoast.

Advanced Blockchain for Enterprise, Virtual Event

Date: Tuesday, December 4, 2018 to Wednesday, December 5, 2018
Start Time: 1:00 p.m.
End Time: 2:00 p.m.
Time Zone: Eastern

Purpose and Background

As blockchain technology rapidly expands into nearly every industry, professionals require training that goes beyond the basic blockchain definitions and theories. Over the course of these two 1-hour sessions this interactive virtual event will cover technical differentiation, benefits and enterprise-level use cases of blockchain. Incremental implementation and decentralization issues relevant to the Energy, Internet of Things, healthcare, and supply chain industries.

Primary Discussion Topics

• Technical differentiation, benefits and uniqueness of the blockchain, with an emphasis on incremental implementation.
• Developments by the big cloud providers, and the advantages and limitations of traditional databases versus blockchain systems.
• Blockchain as the Internet of Value, including digitizing real assets, digital asset trading, agreements and smart contract deployments.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of both sessions, attendees will be able to:

• Discern how blockchain is different from other similar technologies and what its unique advantages can provide.
• Identify how blockchain applies to certain business use cases, and why that matters.
• Explain recent enterprise-level innovations powered by blockchain, including use cases in supply chain, power and energy, finance and healthcare.
• Recognize where the technology is going next, and ways to stay ahead of curve.

Virtual Benefits

• Explore how blockchain technology can be used to solve problems and create real value for enterprises.
• Review case examples of implementations of blockchain–both in development and in-use–that highlight how businesses incorporate blockchain into their organizational strategies.
• Receive industry-leading knowledge and insights to help make the most informed decisions about blockchain-dependent businesses and operations.

Intended Audience

• This event is designed for corporate executive leaders, engineers, entrepreneurs, and product and project managers considering incorporating blockchain into their organization’s strategy.
• It is also ideal for anyone who manages innovation in big enterprises and wants to hear about the technical aspects of using this in-demand technology to impact an organization’s bottom line.
• This event is not intended for blockchain developers or miners. However, developer consultants, seeking insight into customer questions and demands, may find this event highly valuable.

Virtual Event Outline

The virtual event will run from 12:00 PM–1:00 PM EDT on both 4 December 2018 and 2015 and 5 December 2018.
