The I-STORM Annual Meeting in 2021 was held from 12-15 October. Although this year’s event took place virtually and was therefore very different to what we are used to, it was fantastic to see our members around the world sharing and exchanging their valuable knowledge by contributing and discussing the topics presented.

With a changing climate and sea level rise there is growing pressure on barriers to operate more frequently. I-STORM organised this webinar for its members to learn more on the impacts we’re likely to see on storm surge barriers.

The COVID-19 pandemic affects us and our work environments. This webinar was an open discussion on how our members have been managing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in their respective organisations.

In March 2019, I-STORM members were invited to contribute to a Gate Design Workshop, to explore different possible barrier concepts for a USA barrier proposal. This webinar gave an informative update on this project.

To evaluate a selection of storm surge barrier concepts for a proposed barrier in Texas (USA), I-STORM members were invited to contribute their knowledge and experience during this Gate Design Workshop.
