Advances in Petrophysics for Hydrogeophysics and Near Surface Geophysics II
Session ID#: 10642
Session Description:
Geophysical methods used in hydrogeophysics and near surface geophysics have great potential for characterizing subsurface properties and processes to inform hydrological, geological, and biogeochemical studies. However, geophysical methods only provide indirect information about subsurface properties and processes of interest (e.g. for subsurface flow and transport). The link between geophysical properties (e.g. electrical conductivity) and the variables of interest (e.g. water content) requires petrophysical relationships. The increasing use of geophysics for mapping complex environments and time-lapse monitoring necessitates that these relationships be accurate and efficient such that geophysical data can be correctly interpreted and/or included in fully coupled inversions. Establishing petrophysical relationships is inherently multidisciplinary as such models are influenced by pore-scale interfacial biogeochemical and geometric properties and require upscaling. This session seeks theoretical developments, laboratory studies for experimental validation, and field studies that demonstrate the correct use of novel and established petrophysical relationships for hydrogeophysical and near surface applications.
