Airborne & Ground-based Geophysical Imaging in Permafrost Characterization

Instructor: Dr. Mine Dogan, Western Michigan University Content of Webinar: The webinar will introduce the fundamentals and applications of airborne geophysical imaging and ground-based geophysical imaging for permafrost characterization. The webinar will showcase the advantages and current challenges of airborne geophysical imaging. While differences in the physical parameters of ground materials create detectable targets for geophysical methods, the complicated geometry of permafrost features and the inaccessibility of sites present challenges that require unconventional approaches to data collection techniques. The drone-based applications of these geophysical methods present a great potential for studying extreme environments with limited access. However, it is crucial to design the measurement plans carefully and to improve data quality and efficiency. Brief Introduction of Instructor: Dr. Mine Dogan is a Near Surface Geophysicist specializing in the environmental applications of geophysics using ground-based and airborne geophysical methods. She is an Assistant Professor of Geophysics at Western Michigan University, teaching geophysics, numerical methods, and groundwater modeling. Her research focuses on developing high-resolution data collection methodologies for mapping groundwater contamination due to landfill leachate, delineating highly heterogeneous unconsolidated sediments and permafrost soils, and forensic applications of geophysics. She has conducted drone-based geophysical surveys in Utqiaġvik, Alaska and her new research projects include UAS-borne geophysical imaging for permafrost characterization and environmental hazard detection.
