Description

Can we actually use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve flood mapping and with other tools for geohazards? In this episode, geological engineer Dave Bigelow discusses how geology and AI contribute to public safety. Be sure to check out the Study Guide for the program!

He is at Minerva Intelligence, a Vancouver, Canada-based company. There, Dave is leading the development of an application that leverages semantic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and numerical modelling to produce explainable urban flood risk assessments. Dave Bigelow received a Bachelor of Applied Science from the University of British Columbia in Geological Engineering with a minor in Commerce, and an Master of Science in Geological Engineering from Simon Fraser University, investigating glacial lake outburst flood hazards. Results from his research have been presented at international conferences and published in scientific journals. Before joining Minerva, Dave worked in consulting engineering, gaining hands-on experience in geotechnical and hydrotechnical hazard assessments.

Multi-Hazards . . . all about protecting communities. Climate change, extreme weather, (un)natural disasters, pandemics, systemic racism, neocolonialism, neoliberalism, poisonous political trends, etc. These pose a threat to human societies and the natural world. This is a podcast about disasters suffered or averted, with issues facing experts in climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, anti-racism and many other important topics. It's for anyone interested in protecting your communities, families, your livelihoods or businesses, especially those suffering from this global system that makes many people even more vulnerable. Tune in as we seek solutions to potential risks and also the domino or cascading effects when they overlap and slam into each other. With many, many wonderful, knowledgeable guests and host, Vin Nelsen . . .
