Friday May 9, 2003 Short Courses
Short Courses are offered Friday after the conference to further
explore technical issues surrounding LiDAR, Radar, and GeoRAS.
These courses are $50 each, and can be attended without
attending the conference on Thursday.
Short Course registration is limited
to 40. As of 4:00 p.m., Tuesday May 6, 39 people have registered for the AM
course, and 33 have registered for the PM course. Since the registration form
cannot tell when 40 have been reached, we may have to refuse registrants
after the 40th, but before we edit the form.
8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., held at Rice
University's Mechanical Laboratory.
1. LiDAR Technologies and GIS (8:30 am
to Noon)
(Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc., Brandon Grimm and John S. Grounds,
III, Ph.D., P.E., CFM)
This course is designed to provide an overview of LiDAR and the
GIS techniques used to manipulate LiDAR data. Topics include: Management
of Data, What is a DTM? What is a DEM, Data sources and mosaicking
of DEMs, Creating contours and TINs, Incorporating field survey
data into the TIN, Overview of ArcHydro Tools for Watershed Delineation,
Flow Path Analysis, and Hydrologic Reinforcement of DEMs, Preparing
the DTM for use in ArcInfo, Creating 3D features, Draping Aerials,
and Animation.
Attendees will receive Continuing Education Credits (CECs) through the Texas Floodplain Management Association.
1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. concurrent,
held at Rice University's Mechanical Laboratory.
2. Application of GeoRAS 3.1 with Floodplain
Delineation (1:30 pm to 5:00 pm)
(Brown & Gay Engineers, Inc., Randy Rutherford, CFM and Brandon
Grimm)
This short course is designed to provide a discussion and demonstration
of floodplain delineation with GeoRAS 3.1. Topics include: Software
and computer configuration requirements, Integration of survey data,
Development of floodplains through GeoRAS, Floodway analysis, Methods
for delineating floodplains, and Floodplain clean-up.
Attendees will receive Continuing Education Credits (CECs) through the Texas Floodplain Management Association.
3. Use of Radar Rainfall in Hydrology and Flood
Warning (Cancelled)
(Baxter E. Vieux, Ph. D., P. E. and Philip B. Bedient, Ph. D., P.
E.)
NEXRAD radar is the foremost weather radar system in the world.
The technology offers rainfall estimates at unprecedented spatial
and temporal resolution. Hydrologic analysis can take advantage
of a nationwide radar coverage with more than 150 stations across
the US and abroad. Hydrologic prediction, post-analysis of flood
events, and real-time flood alert systems rely on accurate rainfall
where rain gage information may be sparse or nonexistent. Attendees
will learn how NEXRAD radar can be used for areal estimates over
river basins or watersheds for input to hydrologic models, water
management systems, and real-time monitoring and control.
