Evento organizzato in cooperazione con l'O.G.L. - ex art.9 comma 2 del Regolamento APC 2018
I modelli matematici rappresentano lo strumento più potente a disposizione dell'idrogeologo e, più in generale, di chiunque debba comprendere e quantificare processi ambientali complessi.
La calibrazione e l'analisi dell'incertezza rappresentano passaggi obbligati il cui esito definisce la bontà dei risultati dell'intero processo.
Il corso ha l'obiettivo di dettagliare le modalità più avanzate e attuali per calibrare modelli delle acque sotterranee, avvalendosi dei codici di calcolo più diffusi e utilizzati dalla comunità degli idrogeologi.

Valido per il rilascio di 32 crediti formativi per i geologi iscritti all'O.G.L.

S3: Traditional Parameter Estimation
• Well-posed inverse problem
• The Jacobian matrix – why it is needed and how to calculate it
• How to define an objective function
• How to reduce an objective function
• Observation weights
• Prior information
• Parameter transformations
• Post-calibration parameter uncertainty
• Some important PEST settings
• Serial PEST and Parallel PEST 
• BEOPEST and PEST_HP
• Dealing with problematical models

S4: Workshop (GUI + cmd) PEST, BeoPEST and PEST_HP settings
A model is given, participants will have to set up PEST through the GUI, make a small change to the PEST control file and run PEST from the command line. Parameters to be calibrated will be hydraulic conductivity zones. The same PEST file will be run using BeoPEST in parallelized mode. Aim of the workshop is to make the participants feel comfortable with the command line, while doing useful tasks.

S3 Case study with PP calibration
S4: Workshop (GUI + cmd): PEST Calibration with Pilot Points
In this workshop, participants will calibrate the model of the previous workshop using pilot points. PP will be added and modified through the GUI, and strategies for efficient use of pilot points in groundwater model calibration will be discussed. The calibration process will be accelerated by doing model runs in parallel using BeoPEST. Tikhonov regularisation, singular value decomposition and SVD-Assist will be demonstrated.

S3 Case study – application of uncertainty analysis

S4: Workshop (GUI + cmd) Uncertainty analysis with Null Space Monte Carlo
The calibrated model of the previous workshop will be used to generate a small number of realizations (i.e. 10 calibrated version of the model, but the same method would apply to 1000). Most of the uncertainty analysis will take place in the command line environment. The purpose of the exercise is to understand the importance of the uncertainty analysis, especially when the modelling is done to support decisions that must be informed about what is known and what is not known.
