ABOUT THE PROJECTWater Resources Modeling:
|
The collaborative, process-based approach is especially well suited to development of groundwater models on small islands such as Tutuila, American Samoa where there is a critical management need for environmental models, but limited resources to develop and maintain the scientific capacity to use them. Groundwater modeling is complex, and within the traditional paradigm, often takes multiple years of project development to obtain results. This project approaches modeling as an ongoing, constantly evolving activity and applies recent advancements in cloud-computing, social networking, and the open-source collaborative development paradigm. It should be noted that all results presented herein are preliminary and subject to change or revision as the work evolves.
