Summary
The Groundwater Resources Association (GRA) is conducting
a three-day workshop "Model Calibration and Predictive
Uncertainty Analysis Using PEST" on April 19-21, 2004.
GRA is pleased to announce that the principal instructor
for the workshop is Dr. John Doherty, author of PEST
and Principal of Watermark Numerical Computing; he
will be assisted by Matt Tonkin of SS Papadopulos & Associates,
Inc. The workshop will provide attendees with a foundation
for parameter estimation theory, an understanding of how
the PEST code was developed to apply parameter estimation
theory, and will incorporate extensive demonstrations and
"hands-on" computer lab exercises from a variety of environmental
disciplines, including applications of PEST to groundwater/surface
water modeling.
Parameter Estimation (PEST) is a general-purpose
parameter estimation utility developed by John Doherty of
Watermark Computing. The course will focus upon the use
of PEST, the most advanced available technology for groundwater,
surface water, and all other environmental model calibrations.
Using PEST you can apply state-of-the-art calibration and
predictive uncertainty analysis methods on your everyday
modeling applications. Using PEST you can:
Apply advanced regularization techniques for improved
numerical stability;
Undertake nonlinear predictive uncertainty analysis
of key model outputs;
Simultaneously parameterize one or a number of models
on the basis of multiple datasets including heads, flows
and contaminant concentrations;
Accommodate geological heterogeneity using advanced
spatial parameterization methods;
Combine PEST with the use of stochastic field generation
to explore model parameter uncertainty in heterogeneous
systems;
Use time-series analytical routines to process calibration
data in the surface water modeling context;
Conduct parallel model optimization runs across PC or
UNIX networks;
Convert a MODFLOW-2000 parameter estimation dataset
to a PEST dataset by typing a simple command.
Perhaps the most exciting advance in parameter estimation
technology over the last few years is the combination of
PEST's advanced regularization functionality with the use
of pilot points as a spatial parameterization device. When
employed in regularized parameter estimation, you can use
more pilot points than ever before while maintaining unconditional
numerical stability. This allows vastly improved model parameterization
in complex geological environments where representation
of true or potential heterogeneity may be important, either
for accurate model predictions, or for allowing the uncertainty
of predictions to be fully explored. When used in conjunction
with stochastic field generation to produce a set of calibration-constrained
parameter fields, you will have the ability to use models
in more powerful and informative ways than previously possible.
Optional Additional Day -- Individual Modeling Studies
Contingent upon the level of interest, an additional fourth
day of PEST will be added, devoted to detailed discussion
and demonstration of the use of PEST with attendees particular
projects.
Course Attendee Information
Practitioners from a wide range of experience will benefit
from this course, whether new to PEST, or with previous
PEST experience. To get the most out of the course, attendees
should have some modeling experience, preferably in the
groundwater or surface water disciplines. However, hands-on
labs are GUI-independent, and cover a variety of modeling
disciplines, so that anyone interested in model calibration,
parameter optimization, or the analysis of numerical model
uncertainty could attend.
