Hi
May I draw your attention to the following course. Apologies if you've
already seen it via another route.
Thanks
Steve Buss
A hands-on course:
Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Unsaturated Zone
The course ‘Water Flow and Solute Transport in the Unsaturated Zone’ is
being held in the UK for the first time since 2002. It will be presented
by Drs Rien van Genuchten and Jirka Simunek of the US Salinity
Laboratories and University of California. Dr van Genuchten is well-known
for his major contributions to our understanding of the unsaturated zone,
including his eponymous equations.
Flow and transport in the unsaturated zone is a key feature in most
contaminated land and landfill risk assessments and is an important focus
for understanding the fate of diffuse pollution in the environment.
However, it is not covered in sufficient detail in many university courses
for some of the applications that are required in today’s environmental
industry. This course is an excellent (and rare) opportunity for risk
assessors, hydrogeologists and soil scientists to develop their
understanding about how water and contaminants move in the unsaturated
zone.
The lectures on theory and application will be balanced with hands-on
computer sessions to provide participants with an opportunity to become
familiar with the relevant software packages for modelling unsaturated
zone processes.
The course will be held over 27-29 March in Shrewsbury, UK. Further
details of this and other regular environmental modelling and risk
assessment training courses held by ESI can be obtained at
www.esinternational.com/training/training.asp, or by calling Lesley
Annison-Clark on 01743 276100.
Course places are limited and, as this is a rare opportunity to benefit
from hearing first hand from researchers at the leading edge of the
science, you are recommended to book early.
