Join us for an insightful webinar examining the evolution of HydroGeoSphere (HGS) — from its origins as an ambitious integrated hydrologic modelling experiment to a widely trusted, industry-leading platform advancing groundwater and surface water simulation.
Abstract:
Much has changed with HydroGeoSphere since it's initial launch in 2002, especially since it's commercialization under the support and management of Aquanty since 2012. What started as an ambitious experiment to build fully integrated hydrologic simulations that bridged the gap between groundwater and surface water flows has become an industry-leading, widely trusted platform setting the standard for innovation in the field of hydrological modelling.
In this webinar Dr. Hyoun-Tae Hwang (Director of HydroGeoSphere) will provide a comprehensive retrospective tracing the evolution, milestones, and innovations defining the last decade of HydroGeoSphere development. Join us to learn more about the transformation of HGS, including examples and case studies highlighting:
The impact of parallelized and high-performance computing
Advanced in physics and numerical methods
New features, workflows and applications (such as particle tracking, source zone identification, tunnelling, water management practices, hydraulic mixing cells and dynamic meshing/topography)
Innovations and advancements in computational performance
Presenter Bio:
Dr. Hyoun-Tae Hwang is a Senior Environmental Scientist at Aquanty Inc. and an Adjunct Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Waterloo. He received his B.Sc. (2002) in Environmental Geology from Pukyong National University and M.Sc. (2004) in School of Earth and Environmental Sciences from Seoul National University, and PhD (2012) in Earth and Environmental Sciences from the University of Waterloo. During his Ph.D., he was involved in several projects related to developing algorithms for numerical simulations (e.g., parallel computational framework for HydroGeoSphere, a fracture network generator and multiphase isotope fractionation for CompFlow Bio). His research interests are in the areas of parallel computing, integrated climate and hydrological simulations and global-scale hydrologic simulations.
