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 given as Distance Learnight through a ZOOM meeting, the link for each lecture is available through the TUWEL page of the course
