Advanced Groundwater Modeling and Visualization with GMS
|
|||||||||||
A series of lectures and hands-on tutorials will be presented covering
the following topics:
- Use advanced site
characterization techniques including the new Cross Section Editor and
the new Horizons method for building solid models of complex stratigraphy.
- Learn about the
new options available in MODFLOW2000, including the new Layer Property
Flow (LPF) and Hydrogeologic Unit Flow (HUF) packages.
- Learn to import
and manage data for transient simulations.
- Use the advanced
calibration tools in GMS, the MODFLOW 2000 PES process and the powerful
new pilot point and regularization options available in PEST.
- Learn how to use
the new Stochastic Modeling module in GMS, including Monte Carlo, Latin
Hypercube, and Indicator Simulation methods.
- Use the new Risk
Analysis Wizard to perform probabilistic threshold concentration and
probababilistic capture zone analyses.
- Use the new transition
probability geostatistics model (T-PROGS) now available in GMS.
- Learn how to generate
a FEMWATER simulation, including a discussion of advanced 3D finite
element mesh generation techniques.
- See presentations
of case studies for several Army Corps of Engineers projects.
Evening sessions will include discussion of advanced geostatistics (zonal kriging, directional variograms), T-PROGS, and topics chosen by course attendees.
Dr. Norm L. Jones, Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Brigham Young University. His research area is the application of computer graphics and computational geometry to ground water modeling. Dr. Jones manages the development of the GMS graphical user interface and is the director of the Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory at BYU. He has taught numerous university courses and ground water modeling short courses. He has also authored more than 90 books, reports, and technical articles and is the primary author of the GMS reference manual and tutorials.
R. Jeffrey Davis, P.E. Director of Training and Consulting at Aquaveo. Jeff worked as a lead developer of the GMS software for 8 years at Brigham Young University's Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory prior to overseeing the technical operations of EMS-I for the past 8 years. Now at Aquaveo he directs all of the training and consulting efforts. He has considerable experience in the practical application of GMS to modeling problems and has taught numerous groundwater modeling courses worldwide.
Michael J. Kennard - GMS development team leader and software engineer at Aquaveo. Kennard has years of experience developing groundwater modeling software, teaching, and consulting.
Alan Lemon - Member of the GMS development team and software engineer at Aquaveo. Alan has years of experience developing groundwater modeling software and teaching. He has also been involved in several consulting projects using GMS to model groundwater systems
