NJADAPT Climate Data and Visualization Planning Tools Training Session
Abstract for Presentation:
During this two-hour training course participants will learn about the NJADAPT suite of climate hazard data and visualization tools developed by Rutgers University to help plan for a changing climate. These include data on flooding, sea level rise, temperature and precipitation for New Jersey and the potential impacts to residents including vulnerable populations, the natural environment and the built environment including critical assets and infrastructure. Participants will also engage in hands-on training to facilitate proficiency in applying the tools, including access to experts who will be available to answer questions and provide guidance.
