Workshop on modeling of Devils Lake flooding

We will have a workshop on modeling and prediction of Devils Lake flooding on May 5 (Thursday) starting 1:00 pm in the room CH 368 (the class room). The workshop include individual presentations and group discussion. The speakers include USGS scientists, Dr. Skip Vecchia and Dr. Gregg Wiche, UND/Civil Engineering Dr. Howe Lim, UND/ESSP  Dr. Andrei Kirilenko and Mr. Dave Barta. The meeting is open to anybody who is interested and if this meeting may be of interest to someone you know, please invite them.

Here is tentative agenda.

Xiaodong: introduction of speakers and purpose of the workshop
Gregg: the background on the history of flooding in Devils Lake and the Red River
Skip: the USGS Devils Lake stochastic simulation model with implications for climate change and/or variability
Lim: using U.S. Army Corps of Engineering's HEC HMS and HEC ResSim models to simulate Devils Lake's hydrological process
Andrei: climate change and its effect on Devils Lake flooding
Dave: Economic analysis on Devils Lake mitigation projects
Group discussion

Again everybody is welcomed and refreshment will be provided.
