SAME Resilience COI Webinar: Using Simulation to Understand and Improve Resilience
Communities, facilities, and installations need to know the specific impacts they can expect from climate change. This webinar will discuss three case studies using a digital twin evolved from 2020 to 2050 to assess mitigation measures addressing climate change and future flood risks.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn how global climate model projections can be integrated to quantify how climate change will impact a specific facility.
2. Learn how simulation modeling works and how it allows us to better understand complex systems like cities, counties, and ports.
3. Learn the type of phenomena that are impacted by climate change.
4. Learn what a digital twin is and how it can be created from detailed datasets, like LiDAR.

Fellow at Atkins, a global engineering consultancy. Mr. Bourne has twenty years of
experience in developing decision support systems to help with shared-vision planning.
Some examples include tools to, 1) help plan out ice road routes to minimize environmental
impact on the North Slope of Alaska, 2) help residents of Lake Tahoe plan out sediment
control plans to keep the lake clean, and 3) forecast asset lifecycle costs for the $14B South
Florida Water Management District’s stormwater control system. Mr. Bourne’s latest work is
the Atkins Simulator Suite, which includes City Simulator and SeaPort Simulator, two tools
that use simulation to better understand climate change impacts and how to get the best
return on investment with mitigation and adaptation approaches.
