Place and time: The University of Southampton, UK, 4-8 September 2017

Content: Intensive 5-day training course with comprehensive theoretical and practical sessions. This course is highly practical with much of the time dedicated to computer workshops and tutorials. It is an advanced course in modelling and intended for colleagues who have some experience in groundwater modelling, or at least a good working knowledge. 

 

Course programme can be downloaded here: http://www.pesthomepage.org/Training.php

 

Flexible duration: It is understood that not all would want the full 5 days’ course.  Depending on your specific interest (for example, groundwater model calibration and sensitivity analysis, rather than uncertainty analysis or surface water model calibration), the first 3 days of the course could be attended. Please see the course programme for the detailed daily schedule.

 

The instructors’ team: John Doherty (PEST author), Alastair Black and Francesca Lotti

Please see the details in the attached updated course programme. 

 

Rare: These courses are rare and it is anticipated to be the only one of its kind in the UK within the next few years.
