Wildfires are becoming more frequent every year, and the threat they pose to natural landscapes and wildlife cannot be understated. However, state and local governments often don’t have the budget to properly combat climate disasters. With the increasing prevalence of wildfires and hazardous fuel leaks across the globe, state and local governments urgently need access to timely, cost-effective, and efficient mitigation programs. What can...

Join us on April 9, from 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Eastern for Modeling Tailings Dam Failures with 2-Phase FLow. This webinar will cover the following: Failure modes of a tailing dam. Discussion of recent tailings dam failures. Use of Tailings Dam Tool and regression equations to estimate volume releases. Simulate tailings dam breach including tailings material and water volume using a two-phase flow model. Predict downstream mudflow inundation. Simu...
