Modelling for Decision Makers (LC-25-2-144)


Description
This course is designed for decision-makers with the tools to understand what flood models can—and can’t—tell you. It bridges the gap between complex hydrological modelling and real-world decision-making, covering flood modelling fundamentals, model selection, and uncertainty.

Through practical applications and case studies, participants will learn to translate modelling into actionable insights for projects in mining, infrastructure, local government, and emergency management. You will understand when to stop modelling, how to communicate results clearly, and the consequences of model failure even when uncertainty is high.

With emerging technologies like AI, real-time monitoring, and evolving data sources, this course keeps you ahead of the curve. Participants will learn how to align modelling with regulations, build stakeholder confidence, and make informed, timely decisions. Whether planning, responding, or rebuilding, this course empowers you to lead with clarity and insight, ensuring models are used effectively in real-world scenarios.
