Description

This is a compact but intensive course targeted at Environment Agency Geoscience staff who need to grasp the essential methods and concepts in aquifer characterisation within a short time as part of a Continuous Professional Development programme.
The main objectives are as follows:
• To produce engaging and graphical training material that gives a fundamental understanding of groundwater occurrence in different geological environments and methods for characterising them.
• To produce and deliver a training course in a blended learning format.
• To provide engaging post-course material that staff can use for self or group study. This could be in the form of workbooks/guided slide packs across real or hypothetical situations. The material will highlight how an understanding of aquifer characterisation is critical to the evaluation of complex groundwater problems.
• To train staff in aquifer characterisation to aid their development and competence in risk-assessing regulatory activities and potential incident response.
