The course focuses on the characterization of rock as a basis for describing rock mass behaviour used in the planning and construction of underground excavations.

The course focuses on shallow geothermal probes and geothermal well systems, but also covers topics such as deep geothermal energy and geothermal storage potential. Lecturers from industry, government agencies and research institutions provide practical input on issues such as quality assurance, licensing practices, strategic planning and the sustainable use of geothermal resources.

The project module of the module group Geo-Resources includes a one-day workshop or excursion and the preparation of a joint cooperative online course script by the participants.

In the project module of the module group Geo-Risks the participants create a common course script for the spring and autumn course in online cooperation.

The course provides the theoretical basics of subsurface investigations; a further focus is the use of the soil mechanical parameters by geotechnical and structural engineers. In a one-day workshop, the procedure is trained on a project.

The course provides up-to-date hydrogeological knowledge on the description of groundwater systems in hard rocks and sediments. Starting with methods for the characterization of groundwater systems, various case studies are shown, where the application in groundwater protection is highlighted.
