SUMMARY:An Introduction to Environmental Data Management Using Hydro GeoAnalyst (HGA)
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Environmental Data Management Using Hydro GeoAnalyst (HGA)\nGeological work and environmental monitoring programs produce copious amounts of data that demand a structured approach to efficient management. This hands-on course is designed to introduce you to environmental data management using Hydro GeoAnalyst (HGA). The course combines interactive online lectures\, comprehensive exercises and discussions facilitated by our well-experienced instructors to better improve your understanding of Hydro GeoAnalyst. \nCost: $800 USD *EARLY BIRD PRICE*\n$850 USD – registration after February 28th\nLocation: Online\nDates:  March 27-28\, 2024\nTimes: 9AM-5PM EST\nContact info:519-746-1798\nsales@waterloohydrogeologic.com \n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Description:\nThis 2-day hands-on course presents an introduction to environmental data management and analysis using HGA. Data management begins with the development of a database that integrates the variety of sources of environmental data that are common in hydrogeologic analysis. The data are then interpolated and mapped in HGA to generate the conceptual hydrogeologic model of the study area\, which can then be used in site characterization\, regional hydrogeologic analysis\, compliance monitoring\, and groundwater model development. \n\nCourse Topics:\n\nAn introduction to integrated environmental data management\nDatabase design\, data entry\, and managing the database environment\nDesigning site-specific well profiles\nTechniques for querying a database using the HGA Query Builder\nCreating charts using the HGA Plot feature\nData interpolation and spatial mapping using Map Manager\nDeveloping and interpreting geology cross-sections using the new Map Viewer and the Cross-Section Viewer modules\nCreating 3D representations of contaminant plumes\n\nThe exercises used in the course require a current Hydro GeoAnalyst license.  A Hydro GeoAnalyst trial license will be provided for use during the course as part of the registration fee for those who need it. \n\nWho should attend?\nThis course is suited for anyone who wishes to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the data sources that are used in hydrogeologic analysis and how to manage and work with these data using a comprehensive data management solution\, including tools to manage the data through queries\, filters\, user access controls; visualize the data in plots\, maps\, cross-sections\, and 3D scenes. \nAttendees are required to provide their own computer with the software loaded and connect remotely to the online course. \n\nRequirements\nComputers with the following minimum requirements are needed to run Hydro GeoAnalyst: \nSystem Requirements: \n\nOperating System: Windows 10 or 11 Pro or Enterprise Editions\nProcessor: 32-bit or 64-bit\nHard Disk: 2GB or more recommended\nRAM: 8GB or more recommended\n\nSoftware Requirements: \n\nSQL Server:\n\nSQL Server (Express or higher edition) 2008 R2 or Newer (for team/remote projects) OR\nSQL Server Local DB 2014 (for local projects)*\n\n\nMicrosoft .NET Framework v.4.7 or higher*\nMicrosoft Visual Studio C++ 2005 Redistributable*\n\n* Included with installation \n  \nWhat you will get!\n\n30-day temporary training license of Hydro GeoAnalyst\nPDF copy of all the course lectures and exercises\nNetworking with other environmental and modeling professionals\n10% discount on Hydro GeoAnalyst licenses for attendees\nA certificate of attendance for completing the course\n\n  \nInstructors\nThe course will be led by Nicholas Lyle\, the lead trainer at Waterloo Hydrogeologic.
