Show in My Time Zone Join our one hour webinar as part of the FAST Symposium during the Delft Software Days - Edition 2017 (DSD-INT 2017). You will explore the latest scientific approaches towards nature-based flood defenses together with the FAST team and the audience present at the DSD-INT 2017. The MI-SAFE viewer has been developed as part of the FAST project (Foreshore Assessment using Space Technology, http://fast.openearth.eu/) and is a valuable tool to assess the presence of vegetation and its contribution to wave attenuation anywhere in the world. Data on topography, bathymetry, vegetation cover and change, storm surge and wave statistics are derived from earth observation imagery, global databases and numerical modelling. Field data collected during the FAST project have been used to calibrate our model (XBeach) and its vegetation parameters. In addition to global, large-scale data, we have derived detailed and more accurate data for specific sites (Expert Level of services). Tailor-made solutions are offered to fit the user’s requirements for implementing nature-based flood defences. The set-up of this webinar is as follows: 09.30 - 09.40h CETIntroduction and guided tour through the MI-SAFE viewer by Dr. Mindert de Vries 09.40 - 10.10h CETThe science behind the MI-SAFE viewer: what data has been used and what analysis have been used to build the viewer? by Dr. Daphne van der Wal and Dr. Iris Moeller 10.10 - 10.20h CETExamples of Advanced Applications: extended analysis for specific study sites by Dr. Mindert de Vries 10.20 - 10.30h CETQuestion round Webinar presenters The webinar session presenters are:
