Field Hydrogeology Week (October 2025)

Description

In short: In groundwater modelling, the quality of your predictions depends on the quality of your field data. Even the most advanced model is only as reliable as the measurements it is built on. Low-quality investigations are often not recognized as a major source of uncertainty, yet they can be easily contained with the right knowledge and techniques.

This course provides hands-on training in designing, executing, and interpreting hydrogeological field investigations, with a focus on their direct connection to numerical and analytical modelling.
