COURSE DESCRIPTION
The groundwater modeling workshop by EMS-I and Aquaveo is designed as a hands-on, application oriented training course. The course will provide the attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to solve groundwater modeling problems quickly and efficiently. The course will begin with a discussion of some of the new tools recently added to GMS to make building conceptual models easier. One of these tools is the ˇ°Import from Webˇ± application. Building a single conceptual model or several conceptual models is simple and straightforward. The workshop will also cover the linkage between ArcGIS and GMS and how GIS data is seamlessly passed between the two applications. Some sample MODFLOW models will be built during the workshop using these tools. Finally, the development of the MODFLOW Analyst and other ESRI ArcGIS tools will be discussed and some hands-on application will provide participants an introduction to these new and exciting tools.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
COURSE MATERIALS
Registration for the workshop includes: comprehensive course notes, tutorial notes and data, a CD containing a demo version of GMS with a free one month evaluation, a 25% discount (up to $500) on the purchase of a GMS license, upgrade, or additional modules.
INSTRUCTORS
Dr. Norm L. Jones is a 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.
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.
