ANUGA is an Free and Open Source Software implementation of the Shallow Water Wave equations developed by Geoscience Australia and the ANU since 2004 and available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga. ANUGA is mainly being used for tsunami inundation modelling (see e.g. http://www.ga.gov.au/ausgeonews/ausgeonews200609/modelling.jsp), but there is an increasing interest in developing ANUGA into a tool for flood modelling, dam break  studies and even modelling of coastal processes (see e.g. http://www.rienco.com.au/index.php?v=Research_and_Development). 

An active community with interest in the use and further development of ANUGA is emerging and it has been proposed that Geoscience Australia host a mini workshop for those interested in ANUGA. The objectives of this workshop are to

 * Share different case studies where ANUGA is being used to model hydrodynamic systems 
 * Bring the user community closer together and discuss different ways of setting up ANUGA models 
 * Make prioritised recommendations for future development of ANUGA 

If you are interested in attending, give a presentation of ANUGA related work or have any questions regarding this workshop, please contact
Miriam.Middelmann@ga.gov.au, for technical questions regarding ANUGA, please mail to anuga-developers@sourceforge.net, and for all other inquiries about the ANUGA model, please mail Ole.Nielsen@ga.gov.au or Stephen.Roberts@anu.edu.au.

This invite, the program and the minutes will be available on the ANUGA wiki at https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/wiki/SecondAnugaMeeting as the workshop develops.
