This is a two-week workshop on GIS, transportation demand modeling and traffic simulation. The goal is two-fold: (a) to provide hands-on experience with commercial software packages (TransCad, and Corsim, HCS and Vissim) and (b) to present and discuss types and sequences of analytical approaches, data needs and sources, pitfalls and opportunities, ranges of application, sensitivity analyses, calibration and validation exercises, etc. A supplemental bibliography will be provided together with a list of relevant web sites. The workshop will require 60 hours of work.

We will visit the "big" island of Hawaii and our research will be conducted on thermal imaging of freshwater intrusion into the ocean and on the biology and chemistry of anchialine ponds. We will be working at Kaloko Honkahau National Park in Kona, Hawaii and we will set up a field chemistry lab to use with the park ecologist. We leave on January 13 and return on January 25. January 3-10 will consist of a lecture series and debate or research paper presentations. Lodging will be provided by the National Park and some of the meals will be included. Airfare will be subsidized.
