Introduction:
We have weaved new field methods that promote efficiency into this popular 3-day course. This year, the new course location allows access to a superb field site to master methods to increase efficiencies such as flow meters and televiewers. Numerical modeling advances are continuing too. Ground water, solute transport and fracture simulation modeling is capable of more while becoming easier to use.

Enhance your efficiency, improve your expertise and gain a competitive advantage by mastering hydrogeologic testing, analysis and modeling fractured bedrock, including carbonate, crystalline, and metamorphic rocks.

Day One begins with the principles of hydrogeologic site characterization, groundwater movement and contaminant transport. It unravels the complexities of fractured systems and presents new trends in fracture characterization methods. Compare different advances in field characterization approaches, aquifer testing, rock core logging procedures, and building conceptual models for groundwater modeling.

Day Two offers new field workshops for all experience levels. This year’s course location allows access to a new field location and exercises that include downhole flow meters, televiewers and packer testing. Come to the course and learn how to operate the equipment followed by analyzing and reporting the data.

Day Three continues with solute transport principles for both porous media and fractured bedrock. Learn about newly developed approaches, equipment and software for designing groundwater monitoring systems and remediation systems in fractured systems. Recent advances and efficiencies in ground water modeling and fracture modeling will be featured during this special course location at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.

Registration Information:
Advanced registration is necessary for participation in this limited-enrollment short course. Pre-registration is required to reserve space and receive course materials. A minimum of 25 people must be registered at the early registration deadline to conduct any short course (this course normally reaches maximum capacity). Visitors will not be permitted to participate during the field workshops or enter the workshop areas. If you require special arrangements for diet, equipment, or handicap facilities, please indicate when registering for the course.

What you will receive:
You will receive 24.0 contact hours of instruction. The course includes a comprehensive 400-page workshop notebook containing written lessons and copies of the slides of each course segment, a Field Guide for Rock Core Logging and Fracture Analysis and a Field Guide for Slug Testing and Data Analysis. The course also includes morning coffee, lunch and afternoon break each day. A course completion certificate showing 2.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be administered for the course. Participants are welcome and encouraged to take photos during the field exercises.



FIELD GUIDE FOR ROCK CORE LOGGING AND FRACTURE ANALYSIS is included in your course registration.












FIELD GUIDE FOR SLUG TESTING AND DATA ANALYSIS is included in your course registration.

• I have taken a few Midwest Geosciences Group courses since 1997. They have all been of consistently high quality. (Midwest GeoSciences Group) are enthusiastic about sound science in the real world (consisting of) personable instructors whom are leaders in their fields and are excited about sharing their applied and practical research and experience. I recommend the Improving Hydrogeologic Analysis of Fractured Bedrock Systems course. The course provides a wealth of practical information to those who are new to the field and will likely cover some recent advances that are unfamiliar to experienced professionals as well.
  - Eric Oelkers, P.G., Associate, Senior Hydrogeologist, BT Squared
  
  
• This is a highly practical course in fractured bedrock. I attended this course prior to beginning a large investigation at a site situated in a complex fractured rock setting. The course was an invaluable aid in planning the design of the components of the intrusive investigation and analysis of the field data. ...this is the most up-to-date and functional course that I have attended in years.
  - S.C. Blauvelt, P.G., Vice President & Director of Regional Operations, Penn E&R, Inc.
  
  
• This was an excellent course with highly qualified instructors, up-to-date course material on fractured rock hydrogeology, and an outstanding field trip inside Yucca Mountain at the Nevada Test Site. I highly recommend (this course) to any geologists, environmental scientists, and engineers.
  - Scott Shelton, City of Boston
  
  
• The course instructors had the right mix of theoretical expertise, practical experience, and enthusiasm. Also, the course instructors facilitated great interaction among the attendees which was an unexpected benefit of this course. It was well balanced and in-depth educational experience that was well worth my time and expense. It validated some of my own applications of fractured rock theory to LNAPLs, and gave me a better understanding with new tools to move forward in this area of hydrogeology.
  - Don Lundy, ESNT, Inc.
  
  
• This course is an excellent overview of fracture flow coupled with new concepts of contaminant and fluid flow in fractured media. Not only does the course explain porosity & permeability of fractured settings, but it presents useful modeling approaches for fractured scenarios too. The instructors are terrific and highly knowledgeable in their field of study. The field trip to Yucca Mountain was the highlight of the course. I would recommend this course to anyone working with groundwater, ranging from contaminant assessments to water supply.
  - Christine Bucklin, California Department of Toxic Substances Control
  
  
• A fantastic mix of knowledgeable and enthusiastic instructors, up-to-date and expansive course materials, and one spectacular field trip made this by far the best course I have attended.
  - Kathleen T. Soukup, Weston Solutions, Inc.
  
  
• The course was excellent because of the combined classroom material and core logging - I can apply the course material immediately.
  - Jami Poor, Kerr-McGee Corporation
  
  
• The combination and cohesiveness of the classroom, core logging practice, and Yucca Mountain field trip makes this a first rate and unique course.
  - John Dougherty, CDM, Inc.
  
  
• The course "Improving Hydrogeologic Analysis of Fractured Bedrock Systems" was one of the most useful courses that I have taking in over 19 years in the environmental field. The course presented both the challenges associated with characterization of these complex hydrogeologic environments and the tools developed to address these complexities. The course is invaluable, in that, it condensed the multitude of work completed and currently being done at numerous fractured bedrock sites into a four-day course.
