Content
An introduction to geological modelling. This 3 week course devotes the first week to learning the use of the software, in this case Leapfrog Geothermal, in order to build a 3D model of the geology and conceptual chemistry and physics of active geothermal systems. The advantage of using such software to conceptualize a system is that the result is consistent with all the input data from the system, and allows us to view . The second and third weeks of the course are spent in developing a case study conceptual model. This work will be in groups, and will consist of building a natural state conceptual model from real field data. The models will be presented to the class, and peer evaluation will be part of the final mark, with the remainder of the mark contributed by staff and other geothermal experts.
