Geological Colloquium

The geological colloquium invites different speakers on topics in the field of engineering and hydrogeology. It usually takes place every Thursday between 10:00 and 11:00 during the lecture period. In the winter semester 2021/22, all dates will be offered as a virtual event due to the Corona situation. Students and KIT members please register via Ilias to get access to the stream. Interested guests are welcome to contact Tanja Liesch or Gabriel Rau via email.
