Past Deluge Events

November 4th: Deluge Data, Data Deluge Symposium

In person, at Tandon School of Engineering, NYU . 370 Jay St.

Registration here.

November 2nd: Sensing as Community

4.00 – 5.00pm EST. Register here.

As environmental sensing technology becomes more ubiquitous and accessible, community sensing initiatives are growing across the world.  In this last and final session we’ll hear from community science practitioners who are supporting frontline communities seeking to collect and use data to highlight the environmental injustices they experience. Many of these experiences provide a unique opportunity to confront limiting world views within our current scientific and data paradigms, leading to evolutions of more culturally centered research practices.

Speakers: Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq (Virginia Tech), Luz Guel (Mount Sinai) and Hamid Norouzi (CUNY).

Thursday, October 27th: RAINY DAY PLAY

Join us for a devised comedic outdoor show about flooding, climate change, and how communities can be resilient to disasters. After the play, we will host a brief discussion with the audience about how cities can better respond to flooding

October 26th: Design, Data and Decision-making

4.00 – 5.00pm EST. Register here.

How is data used to make decisions with respect to environmental infrastructures? By discussing a range of data collection approaches that include both remote and on-the-ground monitoring, we will explore how practitioners make decisions about infrastructure implementations. How do data interpretations support or supplant human experience or expertise? 

Speakers: Joe Shuttleworth (ARUP), Gwen Ottinger (Drexel), Pablo Herreros (Urban Systems Lab, New School).

October 19th: How we got here: Flooding in context

5.30 – 6.30pm EST: Register here

What is the environmental and political context in which flood sensing and data-driven systems are being deployed? Why are data-driven, or “smart” solutions being seen as a vital part of the response to climate change?

Speakers: Orit Halpern (TU Dresden), Andra Garner (Rowan University), Dean Chahim (UT El Paso).

Sunday, October 8th: state of water: brooklyn waterfronts at Pioneer Work Second Sunday
