SIUCC Residence Course Announcement

The COMET Program and the Climate Change and Water Working Group (CCAWWG) are pleased to announce the first Sedimentation Impacts Under Climate Change (SIUCC) course. The course is being developed with financial support from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. The SIUCC course is part of Professional Development Series, "Assessing Natural Systems Impacts under Climate Change.”

When: Tuesday, 24 February through Thursday, 26 February 2015, 8AM - 5PM MDT daily.

Where: University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colorado.

Lead Instructors: Dr. William Elliot (Rocky Mountain Research Station,USDA Forest Service) and

Dr. Blair Greimann (Sedimentation and River Hydraulics Group, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation)

Description:

In this three-day, instructor-led, in-classroom course, participants will explore methods to scope, conduct, and document an assessment of impacts (with uncertainty) from a changing climate on watershed and channel sedimentation.  Lessons in the course will focus on the sedimentation processes: production, delivery, and deposition within a river system. The course will give the students the tools to apply existing watershed erosion models and in-channel sediment transport models to conditions under climate change.
