Technical discussion hydrogeology and engineering geology

The technical discussion invites speakers from research & practice on topics related to engineering and hydrogeology. It takes place during the lecture period on Thursday from 10:00 to 11:00. The dates in the summer semester take place partly online (Zoom) and partly in presence (building 50.41, room -133). Students and KIT members register via ILIAS to get access to the stream. Interested guests please register by e-mail to Christine Mackert .
