As part of a collaboration regarding groundwater quality and geochemistry, Professor Dario Tedesco from Campania University, Italy, visited Geophysics@PSU – 3G (Geothermal and Groundwater Group) on 9 and 10 January 2019. The collaboration involved exchanging experiences in geothermal and groundwater sampling techniques, and taking water samples from Thung Nui Hot Spring, Satun, for further detailed analyses at Prof. Tedesco’s laboratory at Campania University.
