*Runoff Predictions in Ungauged Basins (PUB) Summer Short Course***

*June 6 – 10, 2016 || Fort Collins, Colorado*

*Early Bird Registration Deadline: April 1^st ***

This U.S.-based summer short course, previously offered in Europe in 
2015, is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., 
predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available.

**

*Course details:*
This course is aimed at training students in methods to estimate 
streamflow at ungauged locations across different time and spatial 
scales. Students will be introduced to approaches through a series of 
lectures that are supplemented by complimentary in-class exercises using 
data and catchments from the United States. Through this combination of 
lectures and hands-on experiences, the course will emphasize the larger 
concepts of catchment processes and behavior and deepen the students’ 
understanding of catchment hydrology. **

Prerequisites:

Students will benefit most from this course if they have completed the 
following course work:

·Introductory hydrology course with understanding of catchments and 
river networks, river monitoring, hydrologic modeling, and the water cycle.

·Environmental statistics course covering basic statistical concepts 
such as the mean, median, probability distributions, hypothesis testing, 
and regression analysis.

·All course exercises and examples will be conducted in the 
freely-available statistical software R. You will need to have the 
current version of R installed on your computer; however, is not 
required that you are proficient in the software.

The course will be held at the Powell Center 
<https://powellcenter.usgs.gov/>in Fort Collins, Colorado. Only tuition 
is included in the registration fee.
