Organizer(s):

Peter Engesgaard (email: pe AT geo.ku.dk)
Frederik Uldall (email: fu AT geo.ku.dk)

Lecturer(s):

David Parkhurst, U.S. Geological Survey, USA (email: )
Dieke Postma, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (email: )

ECTS:

5

Period:

september 17 2012 - september 21 2012

Place:

Department of Geography and Geology, University of Copenhagen

Deadline:

09-09-2012

Web:

Description:

Topics:

- Advanced topics on groundwater geochemistry

- State‐of‐the‐art reactive transport models to simulate and understand coupled flow and biogeochemical processes in groundwater

- Combining theory and models to improve our understanding of groundwater quality: Case studies

- Hands‐on experience with PHREEQC and PHAST

The objectives of the course are; (1) to introduce advanced topics on groundwater geochemistry and (2) to use the state‐of‐the‐art reactive transport models to simulate and understand coupled flow and biogeochemical processes in groundwater. The course will be a mixture of lectures (theory), case studies, and hands‐on modeling using public domain software.


It is the goal to bring together PhD students from different disciplines thereby bridging areas like hydrology and geochemistry. At the end of the course participants should have become familiar with new advanced topics in groundwater geochemistry and how to apply models to interpret reactive processes in flowing groundwater.

Further information:

The course is limited to 25 participants and is offered free of charge. Students must pay and organize for their own travel, lodging and food. Priority is given to students from the Faculty of Science, Univ. Copenhagen; however, external students are encouraged to apply.

PhD students not affiliated with FIVA are not shown on the list below. They will be informed about whether they can participate shortly after the registration deadline.

NB! PhD-students not affiliated with FIVA need to email an official recommendation from their supervisor supporting their participation. The letter should be emailed to fu AT geo.ku.dk in DOC or PDF format and NOT to fu AT geol.ku.dk as stated on the application page. It should contain a scanned signature from the supervisor.

NB! FIVA is closed for the summer during July 2012 and will be able to confirm the receipt of applications and answer questions in August.
