NS44A:
Current Trends in High-Resolution Subsurface Imaging II


Session ID#: 9718

Session Description:
Near surface geophysical imaging has transformed over the last few years. Advances in hardware and software, along with better theoretical modeling and increasingly available and affordable computing power allow for quantitative and high precision interpretation of geophysical data. The most remarkable progress involves work in the near subsurface (e.g. < 10m) and cases where target subsurface volume is clearly delineated (e.g. borehole bounded). Remarkable progress has been observed in certain disciplines, such as biogeophysics, hydrogeophysics, and environmental geophysics, where geophysical imaging allowed monitoring/characterizaion of processes previously not even thought to be possible (e.g. microbial activity, contaminant movement in micro pores). This session aims to discuss the current state of the art in near surface geophysics, explore the limitations and identify the next steps towards quantitative interpretation. Field applications, laboratory experiments and theoretical research efforts are welcome.
