Modelling, Learning and Sensing in Hydrology
A webinar series in Modelling, Learning and Sensing applications in Hydrology by WIT
The Centre of Water Informatics & Technology at LUMS is launching a webinar series intended to celebrate distinguished research in Modelling, Learning and Sensing applications in Hydrology. The seminars will be targeted towards individuals engaged in research-based activities in the hydrological sciences and will be delivered by scientists who have produced acclaimed research in the field. The concurrent emergence of new technologies, advancements in data-science and new approaches to modelling have expanded the possibility frontier for effective management of our water resources. Not only this, but these developments are uncovering new insights and spawning new discoveries that change our fundamental understanding of the Earth's hydrosphere. "Models, Learning and Sensing in Hydrology" is aimed at propagating the science and techniques of exactly this field of research.
In order to attend the seminars, interested individuals must register at the following link: https://wit.lums.edu.pk/MLSH2022. Once approved, a webinar link will be sent through which they will be able to attend and participate in the session. Individuals once approved will be eligible to attend all of the future sessions without having to register again.
