'Flood management, flood defence, flood risk', Copenhagen, Denmark
7 June 2011 - 7 June 2011
Denmark
An event entitled 'Flood management, flood defence, flood risk' will take place from 7 to 8 June 2011 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Coastal lowland areas are widely recognised as highly vulnerable to the impacts of tsunami, climate change, particularly sea-level rise and changes in runoff, and stresses imposed by human modifications of water catchment and delta plain land use.
The event will focus on the issues of European coastal subsidence in general, flood themes within Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) and Group on Earth Observations (GEO), flood reporting and information systems, and detail of three European case study regions and ideas for a pan-European integrated service.
The event is sponsored the Terrafirma project, which is one of ten services being supported by the European Space Agency's (ESA) Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) Service Element Programme. Terrafirma provides a ground motion hazard information service, distributed throughout Europe via national geological surveys and institutions.For further information, please visit: http://www.terrafirma.eu.com/workshop_8.htm(opens in new window)
