Who should attend?

Anyone interested in model calibration, parameter optimisation, or analysis of model predictive uncertainty should attend this course. Those new to PEST as well as those with previous PEST experience will benefit from the course.

To get the most out of the course, participants should have some modelling experience and should feel comfortable working directly with model input and output files in a command-line environment.

Where and when will it be held?

The course will either be two or three days in duration. It will be held in or around September, 2002 in Canberra, ACT with details to be confirmed later in the year.

What you will receive

• course notes,
• a free copy of PEST
• an extensive suite of ground and surface water modelling utility software
• copies of the files and documentation for all of the practical exercises
