Parameter Estimation and Uncertainty Analysis Course

This four-day course will be held over 19^th to 22^nd November, immediately following the workshop. This will also be held at the University of Western Australia. The course will be led by John Doherty; Jeremy White will join us for a day.

The course will cover the theory and practice of model history-matching and predictive uncertainty analysis using PEST and PEST++.

The last couple of years have provided some exiting innovations to talk about. These include improvements to the PEST, PEST++ and PyEMU suites, new ways of generating stationary and non-stationary stochastic fields for structured and unstructured model grids, data space inversion, ensemble space inversion and optimization under uncertainty.

The theory behind all of these methods will be discussed. A comprehensive tutorial will demonstrate how to use them.

The course is sponsored by GMDSI. The cost is only $200.00 per person for the whole four days. This covers morning and afternoon tea and some organizational costs.

This course is hosted and supported by:

• The University of Western Australia and the Centre for Water and Spatial Science.
• The Groundwater Modelling Decision Support Initiative and its partners, BHP, Rio Tinto, Flinders University and the National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training.
