We are happy to involve representatives from industry in our teaching to tie academic education up with student's future needs in their jobs. Upon Chris' move to KIT University these jointly developed and implemented courses and new industry based courses and partners will be transferred to KIT. Chris thanks Christoph Budny, Trianel, Annett Hufe & Bastian Koehrer, Wintershall, and Robert Lippmann, DEA for their support. Here are some images of such courses in ERM- Energy Resources Management , RAC- Reservoir Analogs and Cores, and RQM - Reservoir Quality Prediction Modeling
Field seminars and field trips
Chris developed and integrated intense field seminars and field trips. Some basic physical fitness is required. Field seminars were guided to SW-England British Channel (UK), Scottish Highlands Scottish Highlands, Sicily & Eolian Islands Sicily & Aeolian Islands and Germany (Breinig to Vicht , Wurm Valley , Eifel). They will now be offered from KIT university. We also led field trips for Industry representatives. Further information can be obtained here.
Other trips: Chris led 1-day courses in the Aachen region, 2-day courses in Belgium, 1-week courses in S-England (Tintagel to Hartland), and 2-week mapping courses around Hastenrath-Schevenhütte, Aachen, between Bantry and Kenmare in SW-Ireland and in Castellote, Spain.
Currently no theses are available since the institute's head position is vancant:
