Hydrogeology

This course is aimed at providing the student with a comprehensive introduction to the most important topics in groundwater hydrology/hydrogeology. This course will prepare students to analyze groundwater flow processes taking into account aquifer properties, basic hydraulic factors, geologic controls, and their temporal and spatial interactions. Mastery of concepts relies on quantitative analysis.

Mathematical Models for Groundwater

Introduction to the theory and implement of groundwater flow and mass transport modeling techniques, including selection, calibration, and optimization of parameters. Derive and solve finite difference/finite element expressions for multi-dimensional groundwater flow/mass transport systems. Emphasize on using popular commercial software for groundwater modeling.

Environmental Geology

Introduce students to your natural environment and the human interactions and everyday problems with our environment and global community from a geological perspective. Increase awareness of environmental issues and how they affect society. Gain an understanding of the physical processes that operate in and on earth.

The Geostatistics for Engineers and Scientists

This course is aimed at providing the student with a comprehensive introduction to the geostatistical estimation and simulation. Develop methods to quantify uncertainties in estimated values and optimize the process of integration of various sources of information.

Geological Hazards and Environmental Challenges

The course focuses on geology-related hazards and prevention. Apart from indoor lectures, some lecturers will also be arranged to share the practical experiences from the industry. Students will also have a two-day trip of business visits and field investigation. Places we visit such as the 921 earthquake museum, Nantou Zhushan groove, Gaomei Wetland and Gragon Steel Company.

Geology

Introduce students to the basic knowledge in the field of geology, including earth tectonics, geologic material and water resources. Meanwhile, the course focuses on building the ability of field observation, and puts geologic knowledge into life by outdoor lectures.
