PRE-CONFERENCE COURSE 3-4 March 2014, Prague, Czech Republic
Hydrogeology of groundwater dependent ecosystem (GDEs): novel
techniques for
hydrological and ecological monitoring, assessment and
analysis
Background: Groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) provide many
ecosystem services and have
during recent years become an important part of groundwater
resources management. Groundwaterabstraction and land use should
consider GDEs as these systems are vulnerable to changes in water
quantity
and quality. This course provides insight into groundwater
systems supporting various terrestrial and aquaticecosystems. The
course will cover issues related to hydrological observations,
tracer techniques, and
ecological monitoring, which will enable students to better
understand and manage GDEs.
Learning aims: The students will be able to: a) describe main
flow processes and management aspects indifferent type of
ecosystems and how they interact with groundwater and surface
water; b) draw a
conceptual model for different type of groundwater systems with
connected ecosystems; c) understand theprinciple of different
hydrometric methods and be able to find information to select
appropriate
measurement techniques; d) design measurement campaign and
monitoring programmes for use of
environmental tracers for determining groundwater flowpaths,
velocities and transit times; and e) understandchallenges with
representation of ecosystems in numerical groundwater models.
Background knowledge: the course is most relevant for PhD
candidate level students in hydrology, civil
engineering, ecology, hydrogeology, environmental sciences
etc.
Application: send a short email with title GDE 2014 course
registration by 31.1.2014 to [email protected] where you state
your education, work background or PhD thesis topic. The course is
free of
charge.
Number of participants 25 (max): students registered at the
conference Integrated Management of
Groundwater Resources and Groundwater Dependent Ecosystemshave a
preference; otherwise students are
selected according to suitability of background, focus of
current studies and application time.
