Two virtual workshops will be offered on the North Atlantic Coast
Comprehensive Study (NACCS). The first workshop will provide a general
overview of the data and its applicability, while the second workshop will
be focused on technical usability aspects for end users.
*Session 1 - NACCS overview: Informing coastal decisions in the Northeast*
October 21, 2020, Wednesday | 10am - 11am Eastern Time

Both workshops are meant to familiarize a variety of decision makers,
coastal planners, and engineers with the study and a few key derived data
products.
Registration deadline is Friday, October 16.
Space is limited. So register early!
*Session 1 - NACCS overview: Informing coastal decisions in the Northeast*
A high-level overview of the NACCS and how it can be applied to coastal
management in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. You will learn:
-
About the NACCS study, including goals, approach, and outputs
-
Where to access the data
-
Differences between NACCS and other similar datasets, including the
strengths and limitations
-
Case studies highlighting where and how NACCS is being used locally
When? October 21, 2020, Wednesday | 10am - 11am Eastern Time
Who should attend? Coastal management professionals interested in using
NACCS to inform their work. This session will be appropriate for both
non-technical and technical audiences. Audiences planning on attending the
technical session are encouraged to attend Session 1.

*Session 2 - NACCS technical session: Understanding what’s under the hood*
Building on Session 1- NACCS overview offered on Oct. 21st, this more
in-depth session will explore the technical components of NACCS. The
technical session will cover the numerical modeling approach, statistics,
and the accessibility through different databases and Application
Programming Interface (API). You will learn:
-
How to use different methods to access the datasets (geodatabase/API)
-
How to include sea level rise and dynamic tides
-
Storm basics and track conditions, synthetic tropical storms and
extratropical storms
-
Statistical methodology used in NACCS modeling and outputs (save points
and events)
This session will be interactive! Come prepared to get data from the
geodatabase, and present water level using GIS.
When? Session 2 will be offered twice to provide flexibility in scheduling:
-
October 27, 2020, Tuesday | 10am - 11:30am Eastern Time
-
October 29, 2020, Thursday | 10am - 11:30am Eastern Time
Who should attend? Technical users who will access NACCS data and use it to
perform further analysis. Attendees should have attended Session 1 to
ensure they come to this session having basic background knowledge of NACCS.
Register for Session 2 HERE!

What is NACCS? The North Atlantic Coast Comprehensive Study
<https://www.nad.usace.army.mil/CompStudy/> (NACCS) addresses coastal storm
and flood risk in the North Atlantic region. Completed by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers in 2015 in response to Hurricane Sandy, the study was
designed to:
-
Help local communities better understand changing flood risks associated
with climate change
-
Provide tools to prepare for future flood risks that can be customized
for any coastal watershed
The Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) worked with RPS to make a valuable
subset of the NACCS <https://www.northeastoceancouncil.org/naccs/> data
accessible to modelers and decision makers in the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic (funded by a USFWS North Atlantic Landscape Conservation
Cooperative (LCC) and NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management).
