For this month's Innovation Exchange, FHWA brings us a free 90-minute webinar titled:

Geotechnical Tools for Slope Management: Preparing for tomorrow’s
climate change through informed adaptation decisions today

Engineers from FHWA and other geotechnical experts will share their project experiences, expertise, and knowledge of the tools that can help field practitioners identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in a variety of road and soil settings.

Questions answered in this webinar:

• What mapping tools can transportation practitioners use to identify potentially unstable slopes and other geotechnical features before and during project field reviews?
  
  
• What resources are available to help determine appropriate adaptation measures?
  
  
• How do slopes and culverts interact to achieve resiliency preparedness?
  
  
• What is a deep patch, and when should it be considered as a remedy for failing embankments on low-volume roads?
  
  

Registration is not required, simply access the meeting on December 14 at 11:00am PT
