CIVE 7260 — Hydrologic Modeling
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: falltypical days: M/WBostonOnlineTraditionalVideo Streaming
Covers the vertical and lateral fluxes and stores of water within the terrestrial hydrologic cycle such as precipitation (rain and snow); infiltration; runoff; snowmelt; evapotranspiration; streamflow; groundwater recharge/discharge; and surface (snowpack, lakes, rivers) and subsurface (soil moisture and groundwater) storages. Individual simulation models are developed to represent key processes within the hydrologic cycle. Process models are then integrated to approximate the hydrologic cycle of a watershed. Covers model parameterization, calibration, validation, and uncertainty (model parameters and forcings). Knowledge of geographic information systems and programming is recommended.
