Environmental modellers increasingly require practical and robust approaches for model development and evaluation. The Centre de Recherche Public - Gabriel Lippmann jointly with the University of Adelaide (Australia) is presenting a short course on several major themes within hydrological modelling, with the aim of providing some key background of the subject and overviewing recent developments. The summer school will include a 1-day field trip to several experimental catchments in Luxembourg, which will then form part of the modelling exercises. The course will cover the following themes:

• Hydrological model building
• Robust numerical techniques for model implementation
• Intro into Bayesian inference for model calibration and uncertainty analysis
• Fieldwork to inform model development ("dialogue between modeller and experimentalist")
• Model evaluation and hypothesis testing, primarily for catchment-scale models

The course is suitable for researchers (mainly PhD students but also masters and postdocs) in the field of hydrology and broader environmental sciences with interest in the workshop themes (but without a strong existing background)
