This course is in all assigned curricula part of the STEOP.
This course is in at least 1 assigned curriculum part of the STEOP.

2025S, VO, 1.0h, 1.5EC, to be held in blocked form

Properties

  • Semester hours: 1.0
  • Credits: 1.5
  • Type: VO Lecture
  • Format: Presence

Learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, students are able to use geophysical methods for the monitoring of biogeochemical and environmental processes such as soil-plants interactions, delineation of contaminant plumes or the evaluation of remediation techniques

Subject of course

Along the course three main components are revised:

1) The use of geophysical methods to delineate hydraulic properties and soil-roots interactions

2) The characterizaiton of organic-contaminants by means of spectral induced polarization imaging

3) Monitoring natural and stimulated biogeochemical activity for groundwater remediation

 

Teaching methods

  • The lecture is in presence in the seminar room
  • The lecture is blocked in 10 units (fridays between 9;00 and 12:00)
  • A script for the lecture weill be made available in TUWEL, which consist of the slides used in each lecture. The slides and other relevant material are available for the students before each lecture.
  • Discussion with the students on the application of theoretical concepts
  • Short exercises
  • Review of short papers
