The course will introduce students to the general principles of Geothermics and is suitable for students who have a basic knowledge of Geoscience or Environmental Science (equivalent of a Bachelor degree).

The course covers hydrogeological investigation methods in unconsolidated sediments (theory only) and fractured rock. Application in hard/fractured rock. Focus on aquitard well tests using a double packer. Estimation of natural hydraulic heads. The students have to sample, display, evaluate and assess own data and write a report. --10-19 June, 11-18 June @Mels
