Description
This is a compact but intensive course targeted at Environment Agency Geoscience staff who need to understand groundwater chemistry within a short time as part of a Continuous Professional Development programme.
Objectives
The main objectives are as follows:
To produce engaging and graphical training material that gives a fundamental understanding of groundwater chemistry in different geological environments and methods for investigating them.
To produce and deliver a training course in a blended learning format.
To provide engaging post-course material that staff can use for self or group study. This could be in the form of workbooks/guided slide packs across real or hypothetical situations. The material will highlight how an understanding of groundwater chemistry is critical to the evaluation of complex groundwater problems.
To train staff in understanding groundwater chemistry to aid their development and competence in risk-assessing regulatory activities and potential incident response.
To introduce staff to current state of knowledge and methods for investigating emerging chemicals and plastics, including associated risks to the environment.
