Fellows' reports reach a wide audience
The number of views or 'hits' each report gets from our website is monitored and we are proud to announce that the most frequently viewed report received over 700.000 hits in 2015. The paper Piping design: the fundamentals,written for the MDG short course in El Salvador in 2011 by José L. H. Miranda and Luis A. A. López is as before the most viewed report, followed by Directional well design, trajectory and survey calculations, with a case study in Fiale, Asal Rift, Djibouti, a Six Month Training report by Farah Omar Farah.
The reports with over 5000 'hits' in 2015 from the Short courses and Six month Training can be seen here in the table below:

The annual number of hits of the UNU-GTP reports has been increasing steadily over the last few years. In comparison the same report in 1st place received just over 365.000 hits in 2012. This is very good news as it indicates an increasing interest in geothermal development and shows the wide audience that the UNU-GTP reports are reaching.
