Topic outline
-
Geology
- Earth: structure (plate tectonics) and composition (elements)
- minerals, rocks and soils; geological agents, processes and mass fluxes
- tectonics, geologic structures
- historical and regional geology
- raw materials, mining
- engineering geology (soil mechanics, slope processes)
- waste disposal (landfills, radioactive waste)
Hydrogeology
- subsurface water, groundwater in water cycle
- groundwater hydraulics, density driven flow (Elder problem, Henry problem), hard rock hydrogeology, unsaturated zone
- solute transport (ADE), NAPL (LNAPL, DNAPL)
- environmental geochemistry
- equilibria (thermodynamics, activity, Gibbs free energy, mass action law, solubility product, IAP, saturation, Nernst Equation, redox sequence (redox ladder), sorption)
- kinetics (order of reactions, radioactive deay)
- stable and radioactive isotopes
- groundwater survey techniques (mapping, drilling, wells, dynamic tests, tracer tests), geophysical methods (surface, borehole logging)
- subsurface contamination and remediation
- groundwater modelling (flow, transport), geochemical modelling
- general issues: uncertainty classification and assessment, simplicity and complexity

Numerical flow and transport models for forecasting cannot be based only on literature data, but need experimentally determined parameters. This training provides additional knowledge on the determination of flow and transport parameters on a laboratory scale, such as porosity, hydraulic conductivity, diffusion coefficient and distribution coefficient. The approaches considered are applicable to a wide range of permeability of sedimentary deposits.
