At the same time, he also made brilliant speech about 《 Groundwater Vulnerability and Risk Mapping for the Protection of Karst Spring 》 and 《 Tracers in Hydrogeology 》 for the graduate students.
   Moreover, Nico introduced detailedly the methods about groundwater vulnerability and risk mapping at karst area and taught the graduate students how to do trace test and analyze water quality in the field. And, Nico interviewed Prof. Chris Groves and accepted the invitation of Prof. Chris Groves to enlist under IGCP 513. Under the multi-cooperation and the support of IGCP 513, Nico hoped to constitute an universal method for Groundwater vulnerability and risk mapping at karst area in the world.
