H12A:
Advances and Breakthroughs in Hydrogeology II


Session ID#: 10533

Session Description:
The field of subsurface hydrology is relevant to both quantity and quality of groundwater supplies, maintenance of ecosystems, and geologic processes including heat flow, faulting, and geochemical cycles. Despite advances in modeling tools, inverse techniques and geophysical methods, complete understanding of hydrogeological processes remains elusive, and fundamental subsurface flow and transport problems remain extremely difficult due to spatial heterogeneity of geological structures, temporal variability and nonlinearity of fluid dynamics, and coupling between chemical, physical, and biological processes as well as data limitations and uncertainties. We seek contributions on modeling approaches and field methods that improve our understanding of the complex hydrogeological systems. Contributions may include or span innovations in hydrogeological modeling, inverse methodologies, sparse representation and imaging methods, computational techniques, hydrogeophysics, and lab and field testing methods. Submissions discussing the philosophical underpinnings and fundamental physics of past and present methodologies are encouraged.
