M9d-MSc HS: Environmental Modeling Process
Instructors: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Robert ReineckeShortname: M9dMSc
Course No.: 09.050.434
Course Type: Hauptseminar
Requirements / organisational issues
The use of models in earth, environmental and hydro-sciences is ubiquitous. They are used for both scientific analysis and operational prediction. Each model is embedded in a modelling process, starting from the abstraction of the real system, the determination of parameters, the quantification of uncertainties, the formulation of objective functions, etc. In this course, the main elements of such a modelling process will be discussed and their adaptation to different models of Earth, environmental and hydro systems will be explained and carried out.Lectures will go hand in hand with practical exercises using software to implement the modelling process (e.g. www.safetoolbox.info).
Students will be able to work both as a group (in a flipped classroom) and individually (through a term paper) on specific elements of interest.
Qualification goals
1. Subject competences
Students will be familiar with the main elements of the modelling process.
2. Methodological competences
Students...
will be able to select and adapt these main elements to their specific models and their complexity,
will become familiar with the theoretical basis of these elements and be able to develop a modelling process for their model,
will be able to use selected software to implement the modelling process, including Global Sensitivity Analysis to understand and quantify uncertainties.
