  • Maria-Theresia Schafmeister

摘要

The essay describes the development of hydrogeology education in German universities over the past 25 years, based on the author’s own experience and an informal poll among German-speaking hydrogeology lecturers. Hydrogeology is an integral part of geoscience degree programmes in Germany, where it is increasingly recognized as an indispensable player in interdisciplinary efforts to solve societal, environmental and health-related problems. This is reflected by faculty positions in Germany shifting towards a focus on (bio) geochemistry and away from groundwater quantity-focused research.
