May 9, 2022 – Friday, May 13, 2022: 2022 CSHS Principles of Modelling Short Course (CIVE 781)

 In Archived CSHS, Archived Training, Archived Workshops

Registration for this event is now closed to everyone except for-credit students. Thank you for your interest!

 

Event Speakers:

Dr. James Craig, University of Waterloo (Lead Instructor)

Dr. Kevin Shook, University of Saskatchewan

Dr. Bryan Tolson, University of Waterloo

This course addresses the development of computational models of watershed hydrology in support of water resources management and scientific investigation.

The full model development and application cycle is considered: pre-processing, understanding, and generating input forcing data; system discretization and algorithms for simulating hydrologic processes; parameter estimation; and interpreting model output in the context of often significant system uncertainty. The course will include practical applications of models to alpine, boreal forest, prairie, and agricultural settings in Canada.

Professionals taking the course will receive a certificate of completion from the CSHS. Graduate students currently enrolled at a Canadian University will have take-home assignments due in early August and earn a graduate credit for the course.

Participants will be exposed to a number of useful hydrological modelling software tools, including R, Ostrich, and Raven. Hydrologic modelling practitioners will present both complex and simple modelling case studies demonstrating the challenges confronted in real-world modelling applications.
