Addressing environmental challenges requir … Addressing environmental challenges requires models that are not only scientifically robust but also accessible to diverse stakeholders, including non-technical users. However, for many, these models remain "black boxes," creating barriers to understanding and trust. These barriers hinder effective collaboration between modellers and decision-makers, ultimately limiting the impact of scientific insights.</br> </br>This webinar introduces an innovative approach to modelling that emphasizes accessibility and understanding through learning-by-doing. We will explore an interactive toolbox (impact-erosion.github.io) built using Jupyter Notebooks, designed to guide users through essential modelling concepts and processes—from basic initial tasks such as data pre-processing to advanced techniques like uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.</br> </br>By integrating interactive elements and visualization, iMPACT-erosion promotes an easier and more fluent user-model conversation, making models approachable for students, professors, researchers, and decision-makers. Beyond showcasing the toolbox, the webinar also empowers attendees to create their own accessible and interactive tools by integrating Jupyter Notebooks, interactive visualizations, and basic Python programming. Participants will learn how to deploy these tools on the cloud at no cost, making them easily shareable and usable by anyone with a web browser.</br> </br>While the webinar focuses on hydrology and soil erosion, the underlying philosophy of interactive, educational and exploratory modelling is highly transferable across disciplines, offering a pathway to democratize modelling in various scientific domains.e modelling in various scientific domains. +
