In May and June 2020, GMDSI offered a four-part webinar series on decision-support modelling principles and practice. John Doherty and Catherine Moore presented the first three of these webinars, while the fourth was presented by John Doherty and Jeremy White (USGS and co-author of the PEST++ suite). The webinars were chaired by Craig Simmons (NCGRT), Blair Douglas (BHP) and Keith Brown (Rio Tinto).
The unexpectedly high attendance and positive feedback encouraged us to offer a fifth Q&A session chaired by Craig Simmons and led by John Doherty, Catherine Moore, Jeremy White, Blair Douglas and Keith Brown.
