Teaching Moments in Hydrogeology – From the NGWA to the World Via HWB’s “GW2.0” Project
Teaching Moments in Hydrogeology – From the NGWA to the World Via HWB’s “GW2.0” Project
Presented on Tuesday, March 17, 2015
In this session some of our favorite hydrogeology teachers will bring their most memorable ‘teaching moments’ to you by means of short talks aimed upper undergraduate and or practioner level that may recount one of the following: a) an ‘ah ha!’ moment in teaching or research; b) a concept that is particularly difficult that they have mastered the teaching of; c) a concept or fact that they think every upper year undergraduate hydrogeology student should understand. These talks will support the GW2.0 initiative (hydrogeologistswithoutborders.org) and will be recorded for inclusion on the GW2.0 website if the speakers permit.

Cathy Ryan has been a Professor in the Geoscience Department at the University of Calgary since 1997. Her research interests include dissolved groundwater gases, with a focus on field measurements of total dissolved gas pressure. She is leading a Canadian Water Network-funded ‘knowledge integration project’ designed to identify the knowledge gaps around the subsurface impacts of hydraulic fracturing (including contamination, seismic sensitivity, and groundwater use and demand management).
