Advanced Hydrogeology

Master course offered annually in the summer semester (module: Hydrogeology)

This course part of Hydrogeology covers advanced aspects of hydrogeology and fluid flow in the lithosphere. It focuses on reservoir properties, dynamics of groundwater flow in permeable and fractured rocks, water supply, hydraulic and hydrochemical properties of various rock formations, and applications to geothermal systems. The latter topics provide links to exploitation of geothermal energy or environmental geochemistry.

Instructor: Prof. Ingrid Stober

Course format: 2 hr weekly

Course materials are available in the university e-learning system (ILIAS)
