The PEST course Application & Theory 2025
Groundwater Modeling. This short course is intended to help those who use a graphical user interface (GUI) for model setup, to gain familiarity with some of the principles and practicalities of calibration and uncertainty analysis. It is designed to help you get the most out of this interface when using PEST/PEST++. The course also shows how a modeler can gain access to extra inversion and uncertainty analysis functionality by going beyond the interface when required. Finally, it provides an overview of new data assimilation and uncertainty analysis technologies that will have a profound effect on the way in which decision-support modelling is undertaken, but that are actually quite easy to implement.
The course is informal. We have a plan for what we want to cover. However, in times such as these when technology is changing fast, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and confused. So, some of what we talk about, and how we talk about it, will be governed by you, the audience. Feel free to come along and discuss your problems. We will do our best to meet you where you are at!.Price: 800 €

Geographic Perspectives on Climate Change Mitigation in Urban and Rural Environments – 2nd Edition
The conference will focus on understanding the role of geography in spatial analysis, planning, and the implementation of climate change mitigation measures. It will address the unique challenges and opportunities for climate change mitigation in both urban and rural settings, including sustainable urban planning, green infrastructure development, energy-efficient buildings, low-carbon transportation systems, agricultural practices, forestry, and land management. The conference will also examine the vulnerability of urban and rural environments to climate change impacts and the importance of community engagement, and participation in supporting effective climate change mitigation efforts. Overall, the conference aims to promote interdisciplinary discussions, knowledge exchange, and the identification of innovative solutions that use geographic perspectives to address the complex challenges of climate change mitigation in diverse geographic contexts.
