Supporting your research

GeoAqua has developed consistent procedures for safe and sound operations for a variety of tasks in aquatic environments.

• Caves and sinkholes: hydrogeological studies, mapping and sampling
  
• Submarine vents: fluids, sediments and biological sampling
  
• Lakes and rivers: sampling and survey techniques
  
• Ice and cold water diving: survey and sampling
  
• Zero visibility: risk management and special sampling and survey methods

GeoAqua takes care of your research needs by utilizing well experienced divers or we can join your own diving team for specific operations, always with a cost-effective approach. We provide you with sound risk analysis and management for diving in potentially hazardous environments.

Training 

Scientific Diving techniques cover a large range of research activities. Building on our fifteen years of field experience, GeoAqua provides bespoke training with a hand-on attitude for both basic as well as more specific methods for underwater research requiring scuba activity.

• Classroom lectures are delivered at your own location and an online training is also offered for theoretical aspects. 
• The learning material is based on real case studies and is supported by an updated bibliography and multimedia tools.
  
• Underwater training will give you the necessary practical experience for developing your own research in a safe and productive way.

Writing mentoring 

Sometimes the most difficult part is to put the results of your research in writing, and the pressure of deadlines makes good writing even harder. 

If you need to write a technical report, prepare a poster or a presentation for a conference, produce a newsletter, submit a paper or degree thesis, GeoAqua supports you with a personal mentoring program tailored to your own needs and timeline.

In addition, we provide a proofreading service for papers and provide, through our partners, a professional design service for your material including layout and typesetting in multiple languages.

• Public lectures: we deliver engaging presentations on hot topics such as climate change, future energy patterns, availability of water resources and other environment-related themes.
  
• Schools days: we involve students of any age in unique class experiences and field trips on geology and natural science related themes.
