Geospatial Information Science and Engineering(GISE) Hub – IIT Bombay is organizing a 7-day Summer School at IIT Bombay. It is a multidisciplinary effort to achieve multipronged objectives of capacity building, research and development of geospatial solutions, educational outreach and entrepreneurship and innovation in the core development sectors. We are committed to government-industry-academia collaborations that ensures larger and contemporary learning opportunities.
The summer school to be organized by GISE Hub will focus on the capacity building in Open Source and Open Data for the geospatial sphere. It will be a residential program with accommodation inside the campus. Distinguished speakers from across the world will facilitate the Summer School.
Domains
• Health • Transport • Water

Theme 3:Recent Advances in Hydrological Modelling
This summer school will deep dive into the different aspects of hydrological modelling, with a focus on hands- on training using GEOframe and hydrological modelling tools. These sophisticated models are crucial for
predicting water flow, flood-inundation mapping, and assessing climate change impacts on water systems. Leveraging modern computing power, they simulate hydrological processes across vast spatial and temporal scales. This program aims to equip the participants with the knowledge and skills to navigate the evolving landscape of hydrological science and its real-world applications. It will be a residential program with accommodation inside the campus. Distinguished speakers from across the world will facilitate the Summer School.
