Scope
This course is designed to familiarize participants with the principles and numerical analyses of partially-saturated flow and coupled multi-component transport and application of numerical codes of HYDRUS-1D, PHREEQC, MIN3P, and HP1. Course consists of lectures and hands-on computer sessions which are divided in three modules. The first module consists of basics using HYDRUS 1D, 2D/3D, PHREEQC and HP1 models. The second module focuses on pathogen adsorption and transport processes, transport modeling and risk assessment. The third module focuses on applications of geochemical and reactive transport modeling in risk assessment studies of mining environments.
Target audience
The course is intended for graduate students, researchers and professionals wishing to expand their knowledge of water flow, contaminant transport and biogeochemical reactions and using of numerical codes in modeling transport and fate in environmental risk assessment studies. Participation on the course requires basic knowledge of hydrogeology and geochemistry, but the course will cover basic theory for the water flow, transport and biogeochemical reactions.
Course fee
Free of charge for all participants.
Registration
Registration to the modules via email: soile.backnas(at)gtk.fi by August 9th. Participants are asked to bring their own laptop computers to the course or inform when they register if they need a laptop for the course. Altogether 18 participants can be accepted to the course.
