DESCRIPTION:
"A must have" according to Dwaine Edington. This is THE definitive reference to have if you are interested at all in leaning how to apply inverse methods to groundwater modeling. In fact the tools and techniques used in this book may be applied to modelling in many disciplines, not just groundwater modeling.The fundamental topics of this book include information of the met
CLAIRE R. TIEDEMAN, MS, is a Research Hydrologist at the U.S. Dr. HILL, PhD, is Project Chief for the U.S. Geological Survey, where her work involves calibrating and evaluating models of complex groundwater flow systems, developing methods to evaluate prediction uncertainty, and characterizing flow and transport in fractured-rock aquifers. She is a recipient of the USGS Superior Service Award and an Associate Editor of the journal Ground Water..
Use this book and its extensive exercises to learn methods to fully exploit the data on hand, maximize the model's potential, and troubleshoot any problems that arise. The models can represent groundwater flow and transport and other natural and engineered systems. Use the methods to perform:Sensitivity analysis to evaluate the information content of dataData assessment to identify (a) existing measurements that dominate model development and predictions and (b) potential measurements likely to improve the reliability of predicti
"This is an excellent textbook that addresses a topic, optimization of multiparameter models, which is of broad interest." (Journal of American Water Resources Association, October 2007) "The book represents a very good combination of long-time expert knowledge and being up to date." (Clean, January 2008)"…a welcome addition to my collection of hydrogeologic books…a valuable reference for ground water scientists who use models." (Ground Water, January-February 2008)
