Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

It is planned to visit the Wasser Cluster Biological station at Lunz am See, Lower Austria (WCL) and conduct basic water and soil analyses within the riparian zone, stream and lake of the surrounding valley. Topics may cover: basic catchment/stream hydrology concepts, groundwater/ surface water / hyporheic zone biogeochemistry and physicochemistry (water sampling techniques and analysis), data analysis and presentation of data. The course will attempt to link the physical characteristics of the catchment to changes in water quality and quantity over space and time.

Participants are required to cover the cost of accommodation (1-night) in, and transport to, Lunz am See (expected ~100-150 EUR) themselves
