IAH conference 2019 in Malaga
Just returned from the IAH conference in Malaga, Spain. The conference has been a great success with lots of great talks, fruitful discussions and an excellent field trip to the local karst systems close to Malaga. Lysander Bresinsky presented the latest developments of a [...]
New paper in the Journal of Hydrology
Neural networks provide efficient workflows to extract hidden information from highly complex datasets and cast them into meaningful abstracted patterns. An example of a hydrochemical facies analysis has now been accepted in the special section Cumulative impacts of mining developments on water resources: theory, [...]
Another paper in the Vadose Zone Journal
We are happy to have another paper accepted in the special section Nonuniform Flow across Vadose Zone Scales of the Vadose Zone Journal. The accepted paper can be found here: "First Look paper" (doi: 10.2136/vzj2018.08.0159) Unsaturated flows in fractures exhibit a variety of complex [...]

New DFG Project – Ph.D. position available
I am pleased to announce our newest DFG project "Preferential flow dynamics in unsaturated fractured porous media: Relationship between fracture network topology and dual-domain model parameterization" in cooperation with John Nimmo from the United States Geological Survey. We are seeking a highly motivated Ph.D. student [...]
Student field trip – Summer 2018
Together with students from the Geosciences and Hydrogeology and Environmental Geosciences Masters program and Dr. Schmidt from the Department of Applied Geology we had our annual three day field course (Catchment Hydrogeology and Monitoring Field Seminar; Fractured and Karstified Aquifers) covering the fundamentals of fractured [...]
