There is a wealth of coastal data which is freely available through the Channel Coast and National Oceanography Centres, with many datasets starting in the early 2000s. This catalogue of data can be used to form the technical understanding of beach behaviour and subsequently inform management decisions.
This webinar will be hosted by Claire French and Andy Stevens (formerly) of Canterbury City Council and the East Kent Engineering Partnership. They will share their knowledge and practical experience of the data to provide an insight into a variety of applications and how it can be used to support project work.
Topics will include:
* Available Asset/Beach Information
* Informing Business Cases & Appraisals
- Trigger Level Calculations
- Quantifying Coastal Change
- Informing Future Works
* Beach Management, Construction & post works monitoring
* Emergency Planning & response
Part of the CIWEM Land & Water Management digital series.
