Join us to explore the guiding principles and workflow process required to design uncertainty analysis when developing a groundwater model.

Working through a real project case study, you will unpack key questions around how a groundwater model addresses the project objective. It will also explain how to design an uncertainty analysis within the project’s time and budget constraints, which will build your understanding of the effect of uncertainty on the project objectives.

There is no single step-by-step methodology for the universal application of an uncertainty analysis, but there is a set of guiding principles and a workflow for conducting an uncertainty analysis.

This is outlined in the Independent Expert Scientific Committee (IESC) on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development Information Guidelines Explanatory Note – Uncertainty analysis–Guidance for groundwater modelling within a risk management framework. This document will help guide the course and discussion.

Risk assessment outcomes should underpin the environmental assessment process and guide technical and modelling work. The course sessions will explore the guiding principles and the workflow process to design uncertainty analysis, giving time for you to ask questions. The course will also provide highly useful information for decision-makers.

Using highly relevant case studies, we will bring the theory into practice and be able to apply it to your own work. While different uncertainty analysis techniques will be briefly discussed, this course will focus on the design of an uncertainty analysis for a groundwater model, rather than the step-by-step implementation of uncertainty analysis techniques in groundwater models.

Part 1

Risk Framework and Study Planning

Part 2

Designing an Uncertainty Analysis Assessment

Course format:

6+ hours of recordings with unlimited access for 30-days after course registration
Units to complete consecutively via the AWS learning platform
Pre-and-post-course materials to go through via the AWS learning platform
Homework to follow through via a manual
Attendees earn CPD hours/points (ie with Engineers Australia) for at least 9+ hours for the entire course

Preparation: There are two readings required before commencing the course (provided through the learning platform), with some optional readings which is encouraged. The learning platform will also include a folder of approximately 20 reading materials to view after the session.

Requirements: A good internet connection.

Completion: On completion of the course attendees will be issued with a Certificate of Participation.
