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.
