Online courses & webinars

Are you working with environmental engineering, management or assessment? Do you need a quick introduction to water quality and ecological modelling? Then this free-of charge, self-paced online course may be of interest! The course gives you an introduction to water quality and ecological modelling as well as how to apply MIKE ECO Lab, DHI’s numerical modelling tool for ecological modelling. The course is modular so you can follow it step-by-step!

The purpose of this free-of-charge, self-paced online course is to give you a general introduction and understanding of MIKE OPERATIONS and the most important steps in the configuration and set-up of an operational flood forecast system. Using MIKE OPERATIONS and MIKE HYDRO River the course brings you through seven modules starting with the acquisition of real-time data and ending with an automated flood forecast system.

This free-of-charge, self-paced, online course presents a broad overview of the field of coastal engineering. Through a number of modules we shall guide you through the three skills required for coastal engineering: 1) A basic understanding of the processes, 2) (numerical) modelling skills and 3) a thorough understanding of the context of the given project (coastal protection, morphological impact from structures, climate change, etc.).

This free, one-hour webinar will demonstrate MIKE URBAN-FLOOD’s capabilities for integrated one and two dimensional urban flood modelling. You will be introduced to the different types of integrated models covering 1D sewers systems and its interaction with an urban 2D surface flow model. The types of results that can be generated with the tool will be presented. 15:00-16:00 UTC (11:00am EST)

This instructor-facilitated, online introductory course provides you with the skills to benefit from WEST. You will become familiar with WEST user interface, become able to implement a plant layout, simulate its operation, and generate the desired model output to assess its performance. The course embraces 5 sessions and mandatory homework every week. Dates: 29 May, 06 June, 12 June, 19 June and 26 June 2019. Time: 05.00-07.00 (UTC). Fee: € 600 (excl VAT).

In this webinar, you will hear how wetlands are the key technology in the design of water sensitive cities for sustainable urban water management. Urban Water Transitions Framework identifies six distinct developmental “states” of a city on its path to increased water sensitivity. The highest state is the water sensitive city, which is based on holistic management of the integrated water cycle to protect and enhance the health of receiving waterways. 0:00-0:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZST)

This free, one hour webinar, introduces you to the fundamentals of dynamic mooring analysis and gives you an introduction on how to set up a moored ship in a port subject to environmental forcings such as waves, currents and wind. The course will also help you assessing vessel motions, fender and line forces, which is of utmost importance when planning for port design and operations. 15:00-16:00 UTC (11:00am EST)

This free, one-hour webinar will introduce you to the world of MIKE Powered by DHI technologies. MIKE Powered by DHI technologies can be used for a wide range of challenges in water environments, including oceans, coastlines, harbors and ports, sediment transport, water quality and ecology, surface and groundwater, rivers and reservoirs, flooding, climate change, water management, water distribution, collection systems, wastewater treatment, and flow in porous media. 15:00-16:00 UTC (11am EST)

This free, one hour webinar will teach you the theoretical and practical aspects of cohesive and non-cohesive sediment transport modeling in rivers and reservoirs. MIKE 21 Curvilinear (MIKE 21C) consists of a curvilinear hydrodynamics module (CHD) and a sediment transport model (CST). A curvilinear grid generator is also available for preparation of the curvilinear grids for the simulations. 15:00 - 16:00 UTC 11:00am EST

This free, one-hour webinar provides an introduction to the different approaches of modeling green infrastructure in MIKE URBAN and their effect on different types of storm events. In addition, you are introduced to storm water quality and treatment options. The webinar encompasses all types of the green infrastructure practices on the local level thus including bio-retention cells, rain gardens, green roofs, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, rain barrels and vegetative swales. 16:00-17:00 UTC (12pm EST)

The MIKE Powered by DHI suite of models are powerful tools for understanding and solving many water challenges. You need data to make them work, however, your data may be compiled in many different formats, so how do you get your data into MIKE? During this 4-week Instructor led online training course we will review the data types used by MIKE models and how to format your data to be ready to use for modeling. 17:00-18:30 UTC (1pm EST)

In this webinar, you will hear how remote sensing could be used to produce accurate and seamless maps of water quality, including algae blooms and suspended matter content. Remote-sensing is increasingly becoming the popular method to detect water quality in both fresh and coastal environments. 23:00-23:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZDT)

In this webinar, you will hear how Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) could be used to estimate health risks and develop guidelines to protect public health. Exposure to contaminated water is an important route for the transmission of diarrhoeal pathogens, in addition to the cause of other illnesses such as respiratory, skin rash, earache, and eye irritations. 23:00-23:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZDT)

In this webinar, you will hear how Agent Based Modelling (ABM) could be used to identify the best sites to place cleanup systems so as to trap the maximum amount of plastics. International case studies will be presented. It is estimated that more than 4.8 million tonnes of plastics were floating in marine environments in 2010. This number is expected to increase by 50-fold by 2100. Cleanup systems need to be actively deployed to collect the plastic litter in the marine environment. 23:00-23:30 UTC (12:00 pm NZDT)
