MANAGEMENT, MONITORING AND
MODELLING OF ESTUARIES
Introduction to estuarine dynamics, data
and survey methods
The aim of this two-day course is to
provide you with an understanding of how
to establish a morphological baseline and
estimate the overall coastline evolution in
areas represented by quasi-uniform depth
contours.
 Basic assumptions in the 1D modelling
This two-day course teaches you the
fundamentals of ecological modelling and
gives you an introduction on how to
develop an ecological, process oriented
model using either MIKE 21 or MIKE 3 ECO
Lab (classic or FM series).
 Fundamentals of ecological modelling
 Introduction to existing ECO Lab
This three-day course introduces you to
estuarine dynamics, wind generated waves,
stratified flow, transport of fine cohesive
sediments. Interaction between sediment
transport, morphological evolution, flora,
fauna and water quality discussed.
 Estuarine physical processes and
setup
 Concept of morphological baseline
 Setting up littoral drift and coastline
evolution models
 Interpretation of results and calibration
 Result viewing and presentation
templates
 How to set up the MIKE 21/3 ECO Lab FM
model
 Model calibration and validation
 Interpretation of results
morphology
 Understanding of numerical models
 Minimisation of sedimentation in harbour
basins
 Disposal of fine sediments
 Hydraulic impact of infrastructure
projects
This three-day course focusses on the
challenges of surface water and
groundwater resources management at
catchment scale as well as managing
competing uses and environmental
impacts. Decision support tools and
modelling tools are introduced.

FEFLOW
Introduction to groundwater modelling
This three-day course provides you with an
introduction to groundwater modelling
using FEFLOW. You learn about the basic
concepts of the software through building
two and three-dimensional flow and solutetransport models.
 FEFLOW and its graphical user interface
 Creating 2D and 3D mesh geometries
 Setting up flow models with confined and
In this three-day course you learn about the
physical and modelling aspects of all the
processes in the hydrological cycle and
fully coupled and fully integrated surface
water and groundwater modelling.
 Climate, Vegetation and Actual ET
 Channel flow and surface water
 Subsurface un-/saturated groundwater
This three-day course teaches you the
fundamentals of ecological modelling and
gives you an introduction on how to
develop an ecological model and set it up
using MIKE 11 ECO Lab. Focus is on 1D
systems.

This three-day course teaches you the
integration of the 1D urban drainage model
(MU CS), 1D river model (MIKE 11) and the
2D overland model (MIKE 21) into one
comprehensive dynamically coupled
model.
 Building urban bathymetries
 Preparing MIKE URBAN models/MIKE 11
COASTAL FLOODING - ANALYSIS AND
MANAGEMENT
Preparing for flooding and the impact of
climate change on your coasts
In this two-day course you learn how to
develop coastal flood risk assessments &
maps. Focus is on estimation of extreme
marine events & the practical application of
flood management tools. The effect of
climate change on coastal floods is
discussed.

4. Every year thousands of water professionals all over the
world attend the courses of THE ACADEMY by DHI. THE
ACADEMY courses are available both as standard as well as
tailored courses designed according to your specific
requests and based upon your own data.
THE ACADEMY by DHI offers an umbrella of standard and
tailored training courses of various duration and targeting
different levels of water professionals, including managers/
decision makers, mid-level professionals and technicians.
MIKE by DHI courses
Our MIKE courses focus on practical skills, hands-on
exercises and on teaching you how to get the most out of
your software. Our short courses are modular and allow you
to build your expertise so as to match the requirements of
your job. Ideal for new and potential users of our MIKE
products!
Thematic courses
Our thematic courses allow you to apply concepts,
applications and decision support principles to the entire
business process within current areas such as aquaculture &
agriculture, energy, climate change, flooding, coast & marine,
surface & groundwater, urban water, industry, environment
& ecosystems, product safety & environmental risk, etc.
MIKE CUSTOMISED by DHI courses
Our MIKE CUSTOMISED courses enable you to understand
the power of the MIKE CUSTOMISED tools for building
decision support systems.
