Presentation Transcript

  1. Training in Hydrologic Sciences Matt Kelsch, Hydrometeorologist Lon Goldstein, Instructional Design Since 1993 • Distance Learning (self-paced online) • Residence (classroom lead) • Virtual (instructor-lead online) Hydrology, Meteorology (Hydrometeorology), Climate

  2. Basic Hydrologic Sciences Course • About 12 hours of self-paced instruction • 9 separate modules • 1 “overview” module • 5 “foundation topic” modules • 1 case exercise (synthetic data) • Two optional modules • Probably not used in Indonesia (snow and ice) • May use other modules as substitute • Quiz with each module

  3. Basic Hydrologic Sciences Course Interactive, web-based modules covering foundation topics in hydrologic sciences Course Goal Provide thorough, fully illustrated, interactive lessons on basic hydrologic sciences. Foundation topics are supported by case studies: Target Audience: Hydrologic forecasters with no formal training in hydrology

  4. Basic Hydrologic Sciences Course International Version Foundation Topics are supported by “idealized” case study Course Goal: Provide thorough, fully illustrated, interactive lessons on basic hydrologic sciences. • Target Audience: • hydrologic forecasters with no formal training in hydrology • university students

  5. Basic Hydrologic Sciences Course Routing exercise

  6. Other Module Topics to Consider Ensemble Forecasting Hydrology Modeling Dams/Hydraulics Measuring Precipitation Hydrology and Climate Change Forecast Verification

  9. Virtual CoursesInstructor-lead, web-based lessons Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting (QPF) Advanced Hydrologic Sciences Flash Flood Hydrology ~26 offices ~70 students Polling interactions

  10. High level objective: • To increase the ability of technical practitioners (like water resource analysts) to incorporate climate change information in the studies they conduct that inform water and water related resource management decisions.

  11. Preparing Hydro climate inputs for cliamte change in water resources planning

  12. Residence Course Training Hydrologic Impacts Under Climate Change: Evaluate the impacts of climate change on surface hydrology for use in regional planning studies Crop Irrigation Requirements (CIR) Impacts Under Climate Change: Evaluate the impacts of climate change on crop irrigation requirements for use in regional planning studies
