Invitation: Workshop on dynamic bio-geomorphological modelling

INVITATION Deltares and The Consulate General of the Netherlands invite you to a hands-on workshop during the AGU Fall meeting on "Dynamic bio-geomorphological modelling" Assessing the development of natural landscapes (rivers, salt marshes, mangroves) or nature-based solutions and their services under changing (climate) conditions is challenging. To facilitate such assessments and possible solutions, we need quantitative tools. Therefore, Deltares incorporated dynamic vegetation representation in the open source Delft3D Flexible Mesh model suite, using the fast and easy-to-use Basic Model Interface technique (BMI) developed by CSDMS. Participants will learn about: - using this technique; - basic principles of bio-geomorphological modelling (selecting - relevant processes and timescales); - means of representing various vegetation types in Delft3D Flexible Mesh; - simple vegetation growth models. 1:00pm – 5:00pm | Tuesday, December 10, 2019 Location: Consulate General of the Netherlands, 120 Kearny Street, suite 3100, San Francisco Please send your motivation by December 3 2019 to  jasper.dijkstra@deltares.nl The Consulate General in San Francisco represents the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the western part of the United States. The Netherlands aims to be a fully circular economy by 2050 and partners with the US in finding smart solutions for global challenges.
