DOD MODELING SEMINAR

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@igc.org>]

The Department of Defense is planning a two-day Environmental Security 
Modeling & Simulation Seminar and Workshop on March 18 and 19, 1997, at 
the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. The event will 
focus on the many opportunities available for improving environmental 
management and decision making through expanded use of modeling and 
simulation.

Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Technology, Dr. Paul 
Kaminski, is the keynote speaker for the first day and Dr. John 
Gibbons, the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, is 
the scheduled luncheon speaker. The program will include presentations 
by each of the Military Departments on current environmental security 
modeling and simulation applications in remediation, pollution 
prevention and acquisition, conservation, and compliance.

On the second day, resource-oriented modeling and simulation workshops 
will be held to provide in-depth information and training in the areas 
of estuarine/coastal waters, groundwater, riverine/watersheds, natural 
and cultural resources modeling, atmospheric and noise modeling, and 
industrial processes. Workshops will emphasize current, successful 
applications, model selection, and sources of technical support.

The registration fee, which covers the cost of the luncheon, is $25.
