DHI facilitates knowledge sharing on shoreline protection in Florida
On 27 March 2013, DHI co-hosted and participated in a one-day open workshop with special emphasis on the management and protection of the Florida coastline. The workshop, titled “Modelling Coastal Processes and their Effect on Shoreline Morphology”, attracted 25 local professionals and representatives from regulatory authorities, government agencies, engineering firms, environmental consultants and universities.

Optimising oyster aquaculture in Qualidia Lagoon in Morocco
The Qualidia Lagoon, located on the Atlantic shores of Morocco, is a shallow 10 km long tidal estuary and the home to oyster aquaculture production. The area experienced insufficient water renewal in the upstream section of the lagoon and as a consequence increasingly poor water quality. This caused the oyster aquaculture production to suffer. MIKE by DHI hydrodynamic modelling software was applied to examine possible water renewal strategies for the lagoon.

FEFLOW recommended in Chile
In the new guidelines for groundwater model application for EIA in Chile, FEFLOW has been especially recommended for applications including: flow under unsaturated conditions, density-dependent flow, flow in fractured and karstic media, transport under unsaturated conditions. The guidelines were jointly published by the Ministry of Environment, the EIA Authority and the General Directorate of Water (Ministry of Public Works). With the new guidelines, FEFLOW users working in Chile can be sure that they are using well-accepted software for their projects. The guidelines are available (in Spanish) here.

FEFLOW training for government agencies in Chile
On 12-15 March, numerous staff members of the water agency (DGA), the environmental agency (SEA) and the geological survey (SERNAGEOMIN) of Chile used the opportunity to get to know FEFLOW in detail. The topics ranged from general model setup to specific fields such as: density-dependent flow, unsaturated flow, groundwater in complex geological settings and head-dependent evaporation. A significant portion of the topics were closely related to groundwater in mining. We would like to thank all participants for a fruitful week. |

We co-sponsored a course on marine metocean data modelling and analysis for DTU in Denmark
In January, we organised a high level training course for students from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and University of Copenhagen. As part of the Master's course, the students learned how to use our MIKE by DHI modelling software for offshore and coastal projects and prepared them for the offshore and coastal engineering challenges of tomorrow.

The Academy by DHI in Mexico and Costa Rica
On 20 February 2013 about a hundred people gathered at the Hotel Fiesta Inn, Mexico City. On short notice, the MIKE by DHI software agent in Mexico had organised this 2nd DHI seminar and MIKE by DHI User Group Meeting in Mexico. In the following week, a similar DHI seminar on ‘Software and solutions for water environments’ was held in San José, Costa Rica. This was organised by the local MIKE by DHI agent Hugo Castro.

Simulation of massive earthquake in the Solomon Islands
On 6 February 2013 at 12:12 local time (1:12 UTC), several seismologic stations around the world recorded an MW=8.0 earthquake near Santa Cruz Island (Solomon Islands) in the South Pacific. At DHI, we conducted a rapid simulation of the earthquake using MIKE 21 HD.
