Review of Case Studies and Synthesis of Research to Date Kristy Schmit Tuesday, March 9, 2010
Outline • Case Study Review • The Wiki • Cheat Sheet • Future Work
Case Studies Review Process • Located each case study and moved to one folder • /class_files/completed_projects/case_studies • Took notes on where case study was found and what information was available (Table 1) • Analyzed data by comparison of key values (Table 2) • Summarized each case study • Grouped case studies into categories based on similarities
Case Study Grouping • Case Studies that include 2 or more ports: • Houston- Galveston, Tx, USA • NY-NJ, USA • Bremenports, Germany • LA – Long Beach, Ca, USA • Affected by Hurricanes: • New Orleans, La, USA • Houston- Galveston, Tx, USA • Corpus Christi, Tx, USA • Affected by Tsunamis: • Channai, India • Calloa, Peru
Case Study Overview • Each case study has unique attributes and many go into great detail on weather, characteristics of the port, and past events • There is a lack of consistency with respect to the project background • There was a variety of port types covered • There is not a Sebastian model for all case studies
Case Study Overview • Most ports studied have plans to undergo improvements, modifications, or expansions. • Only 1 of the current plans take into consideration the defenses needed against SLR. • From review of case study data, it’s clear that SLR will have an impact on ports. • I think this commonality signifies the importance of the Stanford project
The Wiki • Organization • Fixed Links • Updated Formatting • Name • Any winners from brainstorming? • New Template? • If a new webpage is created, I suggest a different template with a little more flexibility
New Student “Cheat Sheet” • Cheat Sheet to include: how to get access to websites
Future Work • There is much more that can be done with the Wiki • Webmaster role on project? • Domain name • Lots of great suggestions! • Recommended Case Studies? • Areas not subject to severe weather (tsunami, hurricanes, etc.)
