Taking into account the scientific leadership of this institution, both nationally and internationally, the main interest of the ECOVALOR project team has been to learn about the experiences achieved by this research center in the following topics of interest: statistical models applied to environmental problems; construction and analysis of economic-environmental scenarios; spatial modeling tools for ecosystem services; risk analysis of development projects in uncertain environments; methods and techniques for economic valuation of environmental impacts. <\/p>\n 3rd training section within the framework of a project related to the Havana Malecon<\/strong><\/p>\n This week saw the start of the third training section of the project called “Complementary studies for the integral solution to flooding in Havana’s Malecon”, in which four Cuban professionals have participated. The period of execution of this third tranche is from November 4 to 15, 2024. The solutions proposed in this project will have great relevance for the community of Havana, Cuba. <\/p>\n Background of this collaboration<\/strong><\/p>\n The Fundaci\u00f3n Instituto de Hidr\u00e1ulica Ambiental de Cantabria (FIHAC), which IHCantabria represents, together with The Associated Engineering Partnership (Give TAEP<\/a>with whom he also participates R5 Marine Solutions<\/a>), are the entities awarded the project “Complementary studies for the integral solution to flooding in the Havana Malec\u00f3n”, which consists of carrying out tests in 2D and 3D physical models of the proposed solutions of the Project “Studies for obtaining an integral solution for protection against coastal flooding of the so-called Havana Malec\u00f3n”, as well as giving short training courses and offering technical support to assist in the designs and decision making. This partnership between IHCantabria and Dar TAEP is called International Consultant. The implementation of this project is financed by non-reimbursable funds provided by the Kuwait Fund for Economic Development (KFED). Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development.<\/a><\/u>. <\/p>\n The Local Consultant of Cuba is integrated by the National Institute of Hydraulic Resources (INRH), the Western Hydraulic Engineering Services Company (ESIHO) and the Hydraulic Research Center of the Technological University of Havana (CIH-CUJAE). One of the main objectives of this project is to strengthen the capacities of the research team of the Local Consultant of Cuba; in order to achieve this, IHCantabria designed a specific training program<\/a> that is structured in four training sections, which are executed in the hybrid modality (face-to-face and on-line). The first two training sections were carried out in November 2023 and May 2024. <\/p>\n The complete training program includes from the characterization of maritime climate, through wave propagation, wave interaction with coastal infrastructures, to the composite flooding (marine and hydrological) of sheltered or protected urban areas; for this purpose, both the physical processes that govern these aspects of engineering, as well as the tools with which they are solved and characterized, will be analyzed.<\/p>\n The third training segment will last two weeks, from November 4 to 15, 2024. During this period, the “Workshop on the coupled application of ADCIRC + SWAN models for dynamic simulation studies of hurricanes” will be carried out, applied to the Caribbean region up to the Havana Malecon study area. The establishment of the ADCIRC + SWAN models will be carried out, taking into account in these simulations the known characteristics of hurricanes Wilma 2005 and Irma 2017, which generated extreme flooding in the Havana Malecon. <\/b><\/p>\n In charge of the development of the training sections is the person in charge of the Ports and Coastal Infrastructures Group of IHCantabria<\/a><\/u> of IHCantabria, Antonio Tom\u00e1s Sampedro<\/a><\/u>. In attendance were teaching and research staff from the University of Cantabria. University of Cantabria<\/a><\/u> and IHCantabria, together with a group of Cuban professionals, integrated by: Patricia Ruth de Horta Brito (CIH-CUJAE), Daniela C\u00f3rdova De Horta (CIH-CUJAE), Luis Ferm\u00edn C\u00f3rdova L\u00f3pez (Technical Director, CIH-CUJAE) and Juan Jos\u00e9 D\u00edaz (Project Director, representing ESIHO). Also participating virtually were members of R5 Marine Solutions<\/a> (Andr\u00e9 Cardoso <\/a><\/u>y Francisco Jos\u00e9 Cerda Rojo<\/a><\/u>), representing The Associated Engineering Partnership (Dar TAEP).<\/p>\n The teaching team that will teach the training courses of the third training course is made up of the following members: Marta Ram\u00edrez P\u00e9rez<\/a><\/u>Melisa Men\u00e9ndez<\/a>, Antonio Tom\u00e1s Sampedro<\/a><\/u> y Beatriz Rodr\u00edguez Fern\u00e1ndez<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n The aim of this ambitious project and the training sessions is not only to address current problems, but also to train professionals interested in preserving the coastal environment and in adopting effective preventive measures to face the challenges caused by flooding in Havana’s emblematic Malec\u00f3n.<\/p>\n The fourth training segment will last three weeks, to be held in April 2025. During this period, an exchange is planned for the follow-up of the 3D physical modeling studies for the study area of the traditional Havana seawall. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-5%||false|false” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ihcantabria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Foto-2_4-11-2024_Editada-scaled.jpeg” title_text=”Photo 2_4-11-2024_Edited” _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|3%|||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”14px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n From left to right: Juan Jos\u00e9 D\u00edaz, Luis Ferm\u00edn C\u00f3rdova, Beatriz Rodr\u00edguez and Patricia de Horta.
