Short Courses

      On 20th of June, the conference will invite outstanding experts to offer four short courses for participants, covering: 

      (1) Hydrogeological processes in geothermal reservoir

      (2) MINTAQ or PHREEQC modeling

      (3) Isotope geochemistry

      (4) Big data and artificial intelligence in WRI study

      The courses will run from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 2:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Participants are cordially invited to register for the courses on the conference website.
