Werdegang

Christophe Ruch studierte Physische Geographie an der Universität Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg (Frankreich) und erreichte den Titel eines Magisters.

1998 kam er nach Graz, um seine Dissertation "Study of the groundwater flow dynamics in a crystalline headwater catchment and the factors that govern its variability at the sub-catchment scale" an der Karl-Franzens-Universität, in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Hydrogeologie und Geothermie - JOANNEUM RESEARCH, zu schreiben.

Seine Forschungsarbeit wurde durch ein Stipendium des "Österreichischen Akademischen Austausdienstes" und des europäischen "Marie Curie" Stipendiums finanziert.
