Our program provides a full set of technical, theoretical, and practical skills for Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveying. As such, it offers thorough training for field work, processing, and interpretation of intensively modified human landscapes, in an accessible and professional way. Hands-on experience is an essential complement to previous or planned geophysics training for work in earth sciences, geology, geography, urban planning, architecture, surveying, civil engineering, environmental engineering, environmental studies, landscaping, forensics, anthropology, archaeology, cultural resource management (CRM), Classics, and/or history.

We are pleased to announce that the 3rd annual Hydrology Field Training Camp (HydroCamp) run by GeoTenerife is now open for applications! We believe this may be of interest to your students.

Our two-week GeoTenerife field training camp, from the 7th – 21st September 2019, will see students:

• Learn key transferable skills from a team of professors, technicians and researchers at the Chemical Engineering department of ULL University
• Undertake technical tours led by the Chief Engineer of water treatment and supply installations on the island
• Receive a programme of complementary visits organised by GeoTenerife to traditional and innovative installations related to water capture and bottling.

Please consider applying for our National Science Foundation-funded International Research Experiences for Students program “Landscapes of Deep Time in the Red Earth of France— Research Training in Paleoclimate.”
