03.-08. May 2026: EGU26 - Wien: The Chair is presenting at Europes largest geoscience conference

Vom 3. bis 8. Mai 2026 treffen sich auch dieses Jahr wieder Geowissenschaftler aus ganz Europa und darüber hinaus in Wien zur Generalversammlung der European Geoscience Union (EGU26). Der Lehrstuhl für Hydrogeologie ist mit von der Partie und wird die neuesten Forschungsergebnisse der Arbeitsgruppen Geothermie und Geofluide in zahlreichen interessanten Postern und Präsentationen vorstellen:

From May 3 to 8, geoscientists from across Europe and beyond will be meeting in Vienna for the General Assembly of the European Geoscience Union, EGU26. The Chair of Hydrogeology will be participating and will present the latest research from the Geothermal and Geofluids working groups in various interesting posters and presentations:
