Hurricane Symposium at LSU Sponsored by Risk Management Solutions

CONSTRUCTING A DIGITAL HURRICANE: FIELD RECCONAISSANCE AND RESEARCH AT LANDFALL

January 5-6, 2009 • Baton Rouge, LA

Since the late 1990s, university field research programs have deployed monitoring equipment to characterize and document hurricanes at landfall. With few exceptions, these programs have operated independently. For the first time, the research programs responsible for collecting wind, storm surge, wave and damage data will convene to discuss in-field coordination and the production of real-time data streams. The goal of this symposium is to mesh these independent deployment activities to form organized campaigns that produce integrated datasets in real-time.

Data producers and users, both in the public and private sector, have been invited to the symposium to share information about their research and operational means and requirements
