April 2012 AEM Course
3 Day Shortcourse - Application of Steady-State and Transient Multi-Layer Analytic Element Groundwater Models: Bethesda, Maryland, April 23-25, 2012
The Analytic Element Method (AEM) is an exceedingly useful tool for solving groundwater problems. AEM’s most attractive feature is possibly that no numerical grid or time stepping is required. Analytic element models are often refreshingly easy to understand and insightful, which is appreciated by both clients and modelers. Recent research has resulted in the development of a transient multi-layer AEM code called TTim (pronounce: Tee Tim) as a companion to the popular steady multi-layer code, TimML. Development of AEM models with TimML and TTim is the main topic of this shortcourse.
September 2012 Intro and Advanced PEST Courses
Courses in model calibration, model uncertainty analysis, and the application of the program PEST are presented by the author of PEST, Dr. John Doherty, throughout the world. Multi-day courses have a strong practical aspect, where participants are guided through exercises designed to illustrate important facets of model calibration, experimental design, and predictive analysis. At these courses, participants are also encouraged to bring their own models to investigate the use of PEST. One-day workshops are occasionally presented that serve to introduce attendees to the theory and application of inverse modeling.
