This one-week workshop for UVM students engaged in watershed-science research aims to develop skills in modeling hydrologic systems.  The workshop will provide training in a selection of modeling tools used to simulate runoff and water quality dynamics that are appropriate to a range of management and research applications.  Participants will explore approaches for developing model parameters from spatially-distributed datasets of landcover, soils and topography, review approaches for assessing model performance, and use models to explore questions about hydrologic response as a function of landscape complexity and system state.  Each day of the workshop will include presentations on modeling concepts and design and practical exercises on developing model input, running model simulations, and interpreting model output.
