2nd HYDROGEOPHYSICS TRAINING SCHOOL (TDEM and MRS Techniques)

HCM University of Technology 

CARE laboratory, Ho Chi Minh City VIETNAM

Project report - LABEX International OSUG@2020

From April 8 - 12, 2019, CARE laboratory organized the 2nd Hydrogeophysics Training School on hydrogeophysics, which is a branch of geophysics applied to groundwater investigation. About 15 students and young lecturers from some universities such as HCMUT, HCMUNS and HCMUNRE (Viet Nam), and ITC (Cambodia) attended the five-day course including one day for field survey at Cu Chi District. This course focused on two major geophysical techniques, Time Domain Electromagnetic Method (TDEM) and Magnetism Resonance Sounding (MRS), which are useful and effective tools for groundwater investigation. Under the instruction of two French geophysicists, Dr. Marc Descloitres and Dr. Anatoly Legchenko from IGE-IRD, the course was successfully completed. The course was co-funded by the LABEX OSUG@2020 project and CARE Laboratory.
