Optional S3 courses

This course draws on numerous concrete examples presented by environmental specialists and experts working in consulting firms and companies, EPICs, or research institutes in the water and environmental sector.                                                                            The course includes a field day dedicated to characterizing the physical properties of watercourses and aquifers, as well as various hydrometric measurement techniques. Specific sessions providing the necessary foundations for exploiting the hydrological and hydrogeological data acquired in situ will also be offered.
