This presentation will explore the use of simulation libraries to assess the impacts of sea level rise and support resilience planning.<\/p>\n<p>These libraries use modelling to simulate the extent, depth, and duration of coastal inundation. They are designed to be flexible, supporting both detailed local studies that capture place-specific vulnerabilities and broader analyses that highlight large-scale exposure patterns. With further development, the libraries have strong potential to inform emergency response, guide infrastructure planning, and support community preparedness by providing timely, actionable insights into future flood risks.<\/p>\n<p>By translating complex modelling outputs into accessible information, the simulations provide a practical basis for decision-making. They can help identify critical infrastructure at risk, guide adaptation planning, and support community engagement by making future scenarios more tangible.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation will highlight the capabilities and applications of these tools and discuss how simulation libraries can bridge the gap between climate science and practical resilience strategies, strengthening long-term preparedness for sea level rise in a changing climate.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Our Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-21511 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/futureearthcoasts.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/18014025\/Andrew-Fielding_2024_%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/futureearthcoasts.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/18014025\/Andrew-Fielding_2024_%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/futureearthcoasts.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/18014025\/Andrew-Fielding_2024_%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/futureearthcoasts.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/18014025\/Andrew-Fielding_2024_%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/futureearthcoasts.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/18014025\/Andrew-Fielding_2024_%E5%89%AF%E6%9C%AC.jpg 571w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Andrew Fielding<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Andrew is an experienced environmental consultant with extensive experience in hydraulic modelling, flood risk management, and economic assessments. Since joining the JBA Group in 2014, he has worked across local and international projects, including national flood mapping, strategic risk assessments, and innovative natural flood management (NFM) solutions. He is proficient in modelling packages such as TUFLOW and JFlow, delivering high-quality analysis for flood studies and hazard evaluations.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew also brings expertise in flood risk economics, supporting option development through integrated technical and cost-benefit assessments. As a skilled project manager, he has successfully led multidisciplinary teams under challenging timelines while maintaining technical excellence.<\/p>\n<p>Since relocating to Australia from the UK in 2024, Andrew has applied his expertise to coastal and estuarine risk projects, including the Southern Estuaries Tidal Study and emergency response modelling following Tropical Cyclone Alfred. His work supports councils in assessing sea level rise, tidal inundation, and catchment\u2013coast dynamics. Through scenario-based risk modelling and adaptation planning, Andrew provides practical, science-led advice to help coastal communities build resilience to climate change.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Registration <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The event is free to attend and open to all.
