Description

California is entering its sixth year of drought. It’s clear that the old ways of coping with drought — overdraft of groundwater, stream depletion, and greater imports — will no longer meet the needs of the 21st Century. The solution to our challenge of urban water security will likely consist of a combination of demand management and the development of a portfolio of new water supplies.

You're invited to ConradConnect Live, a free networking event which connects Conrad students and alumni across all of our programs (graduate and undergraduate), with each other and with friends from the Waterloo ecosystem.

This month, we'll be joined by Jim Robeson (CEO at PiinPoint,  MBET '13 alumnus), Caitlyn MacGregor (CEO at Plum) and David Au-Yeung (Chief People Officer at Flipp). These three guest entrepreneurs will share their experiences growing, scaling, and leading startup teams, in a fast-paced panel moderated by followership expert and Conrad professor Marc Hurwitz.

Digital elevation models (DEMs) are a primary data input for many applications in spatial hydrology and geomorphology. DEMs are commonly used to delineate watersheds, to map landforms and soils, to analyze stream networks, and to model variable source areas, surface runoff and flooding, erosion, and contaminant migration. The past decades have been marked by significant improvements in the quality, spatial resolution, and availability of DEM data sources.

Register today.

Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
