In this one-day, hands-on course you will receive an introduction to AMB ('Agent Based Modelling') Lab and how to set up simple agent based models in the MIKE FM modelling complex.
The ABM Lab module allows you to formulate agent based models within the MIKE FM series of hydrodynamic environments of the MIKE by DHI framework. ABM Lab is a flexible numerical laboratory where you can define agents, their behaviour and their states. The Lagrangian ABM Lab can work with hydrodynamics alone or it can be combined with the Eulerian ECO Lab in order to make the agents react to water quality parameters.
ABM Lab allows you to address questions that are beyond the scope of traditional water quality models. Therefore, agent based modelling has received much attention in recent years.

This 1-day course teaches you the fundamentals of underwater acoustics modelling with the aim of being able to carry out biological risk assessments of environmental noise impacts for e.g. wind farms, seismic surveys, shipping, dredging and other human activities.
Marine mammals and other marine life face threats from many different human activities, including fishing, habitat destruction and man-made noise. Increased background noise and specific sound sources can impact marine animals in several ways. The potential impacts include sounds that cause marine animals to alter their behaviour, prevent marine animals from hearing important sounds (masking), cause hearing loss (temporary or permanent), or damage tissue.
The Underwater Acoustics Simulator (UAS) module in MIKE simulates propagation of noise in the far-field with a state of the art Range dependent Acoustic Model (RAM). UAS provides the option to specify a number of outputs in terms of sound exposure level or transmission loss depending on the objective of the environmental risk assessment.
COURSE TOPICS
Introduction to underwater acoustics
Biology and marine impact assessment
Effects of noise on aquatic life (e.g. fish and marine mammals)
Setting up a UAS model with site specific properties
Interpretation of results and visualisation incl. introduction to Matlab post-
processing
Presentation of case studies
Hands-on exercises
TARGET GROUP AND PREREQUISITES
Biologists performing an EIA, professionals in hydraulic engineering, acousticians
and management working with coastal areas and or marine environments. No
pre-qualifications are needed. Basic experience in either environmental risk
assessment, hydrodynamic modelling (MIKE), or acoustics is useful but not a

This three-day course provides you with an understanding of an EIA, its structure and implementation. You will be given an overview of the various types of environmental impacts and their supporting tools. Finally, you will be introduced to the Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix (RIAM - developed by DHI), receive a copy of the software as well as be trained in using it.
EIAs have always suffered from subjective judgements that are difficult to quantify and present, leading to the criticism of EIA as a tool with insufficient transparency.
Good EIAs are based upon decision support tools, knowledge and skills. EIAs have developed into a universal tool for planning and have become mandatory, in one form or another, in all industrialised countries and in many developing countries. Accordingly, it is important to achieve a good understanding of EIAs and the decision support tools supporting EIAs, such as RIAM.

This one-day, thematic course gives you a practical introduction to data assessment, validity checking, and understanding the flow from sampling and transport to analysing data. You are introduced to how to interpret water quality data in order to avoid misunderstandings and wrong decisions based on false interpretation of data.
Water quality assessments are carried out all over the world and most systems are well structured, and with a variety of sampling frequencies. However, it is often seen that the management carried out on the basis of the analytical data are not taking the understanding of water quality variables into account.
Most users of water quality or quantity data take the value for granted and may use the data for large-scale projects, followed by large-scale financial investments. However, data should be used with great care to avoid taking decisions on false data.
COURSE TOPICS
Management and legislative background for water quality management
Scientific background of concepts of water quality and water management
Different types and systems for monitoring and reporting on water quality
Choosing sample stations
Sample representativeness of, for example, river or lake
Sampling and transport to laboratory
Choosing the right laboratory

In this two-day, thematic course you are given an overview of the physical processes of dredging and reclamation and their impacts on marine environments. The focus is on the environmental impacts of dredging and reclamation projects and the available tools and procedures that can help to sustainably manage these projects both during the design and implementation of the works. The course includes stakeholder analysis and stakeholder involvement in the management of dredging and reclamation projects.
Coastal environments have diverse environmental receptors sensitive to potential impacts arising from dredging and reclamation. These include habitats such as coral reefs, natural resources such as fisheries, economic resources such as water intakes and socio-cultural resources such as tourism facilities. Coupled with the fact that the physical processes of currents and waves can transfer the potential impacts of dredging and reclamation many kilometers from the work area, it becomes clear that the management of environmental impacts of dredging and reclamation is a challenging activity.
The course provides you with the necessary knowledge of the physical, chemical and biological impact processes resulting from dredging and reclamation works and how these can be minimized through project planning and environmental management during execution.
COURSE TOPICS
Overview and analysis: The dredging and reclamation process and techniques
Potential environmental impacts
Mitigation options

This two-day thematic course provides the theoretical basis for the modelling of integrated urban water systems. It includes some interesting case studies of practical applications and hands-on exercises based on the WEST software package.
Both policy makers and the industry are increasingly realising the necessity of adopting an integrated approach to water management. Urban water management presents big challenges, but also great opportunities to minimise both the impact on the receiving water (and on the environment in general, e g energy and materials consumption, pollutants emission) and any costs. Options like water quality based real time control, sewer operation minimising odour and corrosion problems, global sewer control, construction of retention volumes and treatment facilities, water reuse, nutrient recovery, can be better designed and evaluated by using models, which include the interaction between all units involved. Optimising individual subsystems may not be the best solution for the entire system. The integrated assessment of the system provides the opportunity to develop holistic solutions and/or provide the justification for prioritising implementation plans in a manner that will provide the best value and greatest benefits for the receiving water.
COURSE TOPICS
Hydraulic models simplification
Water quality model interfaces
What to request and expect from a model
Examples from planning cases
- conceptual model development
