Australian Groundwater School - Melbourne - last chance!

The Australian Groundwater School is vital for Australian professionals working with groundwater. Our flagship course, and the premier course of its type in Australasia, the Australian Groundwater School provides participants with a broad but rigorous introduction to groundwater. Introducing hydrogeology, assessment methods, modelling, managed aquifer recharge, management, governance and more, the course truly encompasses the fundamentals of groundwater.

Solute & Reactive Transport Modelling NZ - last chance to register!

Australian delegates receive 20% discount to attend our New Zealand courses.

Solute & Reactive Transport Modelling: Coupled numerical models that simultaneously account for the quantification of subsurface fluid flow and biogeochemical processes are important tools for interpreting groundwater quality data and processes relevant to natural and contaminated aquifer systems.

Environmental Tracers in Groundwater Hydrology
 

Tired of attending courses crammed full of theory, only to return to your daily work and struggle to remember what you learnt or how to apply it?

This course will help you to use appropriate sampling methodologies to acquire reliable data, as well as how to interpret and model analytical results. The knowledge will lead to you making meaningful improvements in your understanding of hydrogeological processes and conceptual groundwater models. The course will review the basic principles of environmental chemistry and tracer hydrology, and is aimed primarily at hydrogeologists and environmental scientists in the public and private sectors.

 

Dr. Rebecca Nelson is the 2016 NCGRT / IAH Distinguished Lecturer

We are thrilled to have Dr. Rebecca Nelson as the 2016 NCGRT / IAH Distinguished Lecturer. Dr. Nelson will tour Australia delivering her lecture: Regulating the cumulative impacts of groundwater withdrawals: Australia and further afield.

Abstract: The regulation of groundwater extraction has shifted dramatically through an intense era of intense water reforms spanning three decades. A key outstanding issue is controlling withdrawals with an eye to their cumulative impacts on groundwater resources and dependent systems. Such control is complicated not just by the incremental additive effects of many small withdrawals, but also by interactive and synergistic effects. Read the full abstract here.
