Astani Dept Seminar: Novel Methods for Hydrogeophysical Joint Inversion and Data Integration

Tue, Mar 22, 2011 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM Speaker: Michael Cardiff, Boise State University Talk Title: Novel Methods for Hydrogeophysical Joint Inversion and Data Integration Abstract: The search for improved estimates of subsurface flow and transport parameters, and the expense and time associated with collecting hydrologic measurements, have both lead many hydrologists to consider the use of geophysical data for aquifer characterization. Geophysical surveys, such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR), electrical tomography, and active seismic are often relatively cheap and fast to collect, when compared to hydrologic tests such as pumping tests and tracer injections. However, the key drawback of geophysical tests is that they are sensitive to geophysical parameters (e.g., electrical resistivity, seismic velocity, etc.) instead of the hydrologic parameters of interest.
