It is a challenge to disclose and discuss geological information. This challenge was accepted by GeoConnect³d, one of GeoERA’s Horizon 2020 projects that brings together partners from Ireland to Ukraine. Together, we have developed a new way of presenting geological information, and are now ready to apply it to real world cases. We reach out to everyone dealing regularly with the subsurface or geology at large, since we need your feedback to shape our raw tools into utensils.
In order to do so, we have prepared a series of four short online sessions, discussing four specific topics around our Roer-to-Rhine area of interest (crossing Belgium-France-Germany-Luxembourg-Netherlands). For each topic, we start with a guest speaker that introduces their angle on how geology links to our lives. We then explore again the same case using the GeoConnect³d methodology. The ultimate goal is to build an intuitive understanding of the specific geological context, how the subsurface can be used, and what the constraints are. This then allows for a debate where all stakeholders, from geological experts to the general public, are able to participate on equal terms.
We think you may be particularly interested in the second webinar of this series: Framing groundwater management on 23 June 2020 from 9:30 to 11am (CEST).
This session deals with this crucial resource for humankind, as well as for natural ecosystems, and the complexity of managing how groundwater reserves can be affected by subsurface uses. We aim to demonstrate how geological information following the GeoConnect³d methodology can help with groundwater management.
Full details and free registration are available on the groundwater event page.
