Web-based Flood Inundation Modeling with DSS-WISE Web: A Short Course on Recent Updates with Hands-On Training Sponsored by FEMA
When: Thursday, September 25 ⋅ 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Registration Fee: $75. Registration includes a continental breakfast and all course materials.
Launched in 2016, the National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering (NCCHE) at the University of Mississippi has been developing and operating the Decision Support System for Water Infrastructural Security (DSS-WISE) Web. Through this free web-based tool, more than 2,360 dam safety professionals have submitted over 93,150 dam-break flood inundation modeling scenarios from across the United States and Puerto Rico. Over the years, researchers at NCCHE have produced numerous developments and improvements to the system to increase the capability, ease of use, and speed for its users. The team is currently developing a diverse set of enhancements that will empower users to model even more types of scenarios quickly and easily. To help new and existing users understand these capabilities and receive the maximum benefits from the system, and to receive feedback about the status and plans for the new updates, a half-day short course will be presented as a conference specialty workshop.
The topics for this course are:
- Introduction/Overview of DSS-WISE Web
- Simulation scenario setup, research, and data entry
- Understanding simulation outputs
- Hands-on exercises using the new system features
- Tips and Tricks/Advanced Techniques
- Demonstration and discussion of upcoming system enhancements
Instructors:
- Marcus McGrath, Senior Research and Development Engineer, National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering/University of Mississippi
- Mohammad Al-Hamdan, Ph.D., Director and Professor, National Center for Computational Hydroscience and Engineering/University of Mississippi
