SUMMARY:ABWRET-A Blended Course
DESCRIPTION:ABWRET-A\, or the Alberta Wetland Rapid Evaluation Tool-Actual is a standardized method for assessing the important natural functions performed by all types of Alberta wetlands using both field and spatial data. SALMTEC has designed this course to provide participants with a strong understanding of the ABWRET-A. This course targets an intermediate audience with some experience working in natural sciences. The course is primarily instructed by Dr. Paul Adamus\, the creator of the wetland evaluation tool\, who lends his voice\, experience and knowledge to this intensive online course.

SUMMARY:Applied Climate Science for Infrastructure Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:This course offered by the Climate Risk Institute and delivered by leading infrastructure and resilience experts will provide an overview of the fundamental principles that underpin climate change science; the application of climate scenarios; the role of global and regional climate models in predicting the behaviour of the climate system in response to different forcing scenarios\, and how we can translate climate model outputs in support of multi-scale impacts assessment or design of various infrastructure systems.  Examples will be drawn from various aspects of the built environment to illustrate the impacts in a changing climate\, possible risk mitigation and adaptation approaches\, and challenges and opportunities related to design decision-making under climate change uncertainty.
