Courses
Geothermal resource development
Ce cours donne un aperçu du secteur de la géothermie, couvrant les sujets fondamentaux de la géologie, de la thermodynamique, de l'hydrogéologie et de la géochimie et aborde les questions d'exploration, d'évaluation, d'exploitation, d'économie et de considérations environnementales et sociétales.
