ON-LINE COURSES.

Over the years, I have developed a course MODELING PHENOMENA of TRANSPORT IN POROUS MEDIA and taught is at the TECHNION and at many universities around the world. The slides (as pdf) of this course can be viewed at:

    During the 90’s, I have developed with the  (practically non-existent) tools that were available at that time, two self-study on-line  courses at the TECHNION-ISRAEL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.  When I retired, I donated these courses to INTERPORE, to be made available free on the interenet: See:

      1. Advanced Ground Water Hydrology (AGWH). Computer-Mediated Distance Learning Course by Jacob Bear.
      2. Modeling Groundwater Flow and Contaminant Transport (MGFC). Computer-Mediated Distance Learning Course by Jacob Bear.
