Session Description:
Groundwater/surface-water exchange data often are labor intensive to collect, and various methods of data collection apply to fundamentally different spatial scales. Physical and chemical point measurements are typically made at sparse locations assumed to be representative, while traditional experimental techniques may integrate a myriad of exchange processes, or be insensitive to some spatial/temporal scales of connectivity. Near surface geophysics enable the potential integration of these various scales of measurements into a system process-based context. Further, remote sensing of the shallow aquifers that connect to surface water is allowing predictive understanding of future seepage dynamics as chemical and thermal boundary conditions respond to climate and human forcing. We seek novel applications of surface geophysical techniques for understanding geologic structure and fluid-flow where surface and groundwater connect. Methods of interest include infrared, fiber-optic heat and acoustic sensing, passive and active seismic, ground penetrating radar, electrical resistivity, electromagnetic, self-potential, and nuclear magnetic resonance.
