MIKE ECO Lab - Creating a framework for water quality and ecological modelling
Register for this MIKE ECO Lab blended training course and learn all about water quality and ecological modelling – at your own pace!
Register for this MIKE ECO Lab blended training course and learn all about water quality and ecological modelling – at your own pace!
This course is right for you if:
✔️ You are a professional or researcher in the fields of water quality modelling, ecosystem modelling and/or biogeochemical modelling
✔️ You have basic knowledge of water quality/environmental issues
✔️ You have experience using MIKE 21 FM HD and/or MIKE 3 FM HD modelling software
✔️ You are prepared to complete a four-module self-paced course from anywhere you choose
✔️ You want the possibility of arranging online sessions with your own private DHI tutor to monitor progress and discuss challenges
Upon completion of the course, you will:
✔️ Understand the fundamentals of water quality modelling and typical applications
✔️ Know how to set up and run MIKE ECO Lab models
✔️ Be able to design and build user-defined models
✔️ Be equipped to use MIKE ECO Lab in combination with MIKE 21/3 FM
You will learn online through video lectures, demonstration videos, hands-on exercises and handouts.
Additionally, you have the option to receive one-on-one online meetings with a DHI tutor to optimise learning and meet your objectives. Together, you will agree upon the timing of your online tutoring sessions.
Approximately four hours of work per module is expected to get the maximum out of the course.
You are expected to complete your course and online meetings within 30 or 60 days depending on your pricing tier.
This online course is divided into four modules.
Module 1 | Fundamentals of MIKE ECO Lab for ecosystem modelling
Topics: Ecosystem modelling, modelling cycle, simple model setup and execution, scenarios
Module 2 | Ecosystem modelling
Topics: MIKE ECO lab templates, model selection, data input, conversion of monitoring data to model parameters, model calibration
Module 3 | My first MIKE ECO Lab model
Topics: Goodness-of-fit, linkages to hydrodynamic models, build-in functions, model components
Module 4 | Increasing complexity
Topics: Schematic models, coupled differential equations, NPZD models
Anders’ background is in ecological modelling of freshwater systems and the marine environment. He has extensive expertise in 2D & 3D hydrodynamic and environmental challenges including pycnocline modelling, algae blooms and oxygen depletion. He is currently working on a project that features real-time modelling, forecasting and research utilising the 3D ecological model developed for the Danish waters. Anders is also responsible for the development and evaluation of early warning systems for bathing water quality.

Trine has qualifications in hydrodynamic and ecological modelling of both marine and freshwater environments. She has expertise in modelling the aquatic environment for management purposes including EIAs, local planning and supporting design processes. Trine has experience using MIKE 21 and MIKE 3 as the basis for MIKE ECO Lab and ABM Lab and is also an experienced user of Delft3D FM and DelWAQ.
