The ADCIRC modeling community will gather this spring for the 2019 Users Group Meeting to share experiences, discuss, plan and build capacity for coastal ocean modeling.

The 2019 ADCIRC Users Group Meeting will be held on May 20-21, 2019, at the US Army Corps of Engineers Coastal and Hydraulics Lab (CHL) at the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Miss. This year’s hosts are Chris Massey and Mary Cialone of CHL.

The Users Group Meeting will focus on the latest and greatest ADCIRC features and applications. Participants will discuss gaps and opportunities with new ADCIRC use cases.  Student attendance and participation are strongly encouraged.

Other components of the event will include the ADCIRC Community Awards, given each year to users who answer community questions, write documentation and software for ADCIRC or otherwise contribute to the modeling community. Attendees can nominate an ADCIRC Man and Woman of the Year, which will be voted on at the event.

The event will also include a session on the “ADCIRC Roadmap,” a vision of how the modeling software will be used in future years, and a tutorial on ADCIRC testing through GitHub.
