Hyatt Regency Jacksonville-Riverfront, Jacksonville, Florida
In cooperation with the
Florida Shore and Beach Preservation Association's
24th Annual National Conference on Beach Preservation Technology
February 9-11, 2011
The Coastal Inlets Research Program (CIRP) is pleased to celebrate our 12th Annual Technology-Transfer Workshop in conjunction with the 24th Annual National Conference on Beach Preservation Technology. The CIRP workshop will be held just prior to the FSBPA conference, from Monday, February 7th through Wednesday, February 9th (half day), 2011.
This workshop will feature hands-on applications for several CIRP products:
- The Coastal Modeling System (CMS), an integrated suite of physics-based numerical models for calculation of waves, currents, sediment transport, and morphology change at coastal inlets available in the Surface –water Modeling System (SMS);
- GenCade, a regional inlet and shoreline response model available in SMS that builds off the success of the popular GENESIS and Cascade shoreline models, but also includes inlet sources and sinks within the regional system;
- The Regional Morphology Analysis Package (RMAP),an integrated set of calculation tools developed for manipulating, analyzing, visualizing, and archiving data on shoreline positions and beach profiles in a geo-referenced environment on a personal computer;
- The Tidal Analysis and Prediction Software (TAPS), a desktop computer program that allows a time series of water level measurements to be separated into tidal and non-tidal components using a selective least squares harmonic reduction employing up to 35 tidal constituents; and
- An overview of recent advances in the Channel Portfolio Tool (CPT) and the Coastal Structures Management, Analysis, and Ranking Tool (CSMART), web-based decision-support systems that facilitate comparison of commodities and economics associated with navigation of USACE waterways, will be presented.
The CIRP workshop is structured to maximize hands-on applications of many of these CIRP products, with a focus on CMS and GenCade. Personal Computers pre-loaded with software will be provided.
