EEMS Training Program
September 21–23, 2026
Three immersive days of hands-on modeling with EFDC+, EFDC+ Explorer, and Grid+ — taught by the people who build the software.
When
September 21–23, 2026
Where
Best Western Edmonds Harbor Inn
Tuition
$250 per person
Hands-on. Practical. Taught by the experts.
This three-day course is designed for engineers, scientists, and researchers who want to get up and running quickly with the EFDC+ Explorer Modeling System (EEMS). Expect a mix of short lectures and hands-on sessions — you'll build, calibrate, and analyze real models alongside our team.
Edmonds is one of the most scenic small waterfront towns in the Pacific Northwest, with views across Puget Sound and the Edmonds–Kingston ferry running right past the training venue. From Seattle–Tacoma International Airport, it's a scenic one-hour drive — or light rail ride — through Seattle to Edmonds.
- Grid generation with Grid+
- Hydrodynamic modeling
- Water quality & temperature
- Sediment transport
- Lagrangian particle tracking / oil spill
- Wind-wave modeling (SWAN linkage)
- Parallel computing: OpenMP, MPI, NetCDF
A waterfront town worth showing up early for
The Edmonds–Kingston ferry runs right past our training venue, with the Olympic Mountains as a backdrop. Plan to arrive a day early or stay through the weekend — it's worth it.
