2012 - SEG-AGU Hydrogeophysics Workshop

The workshop addresses current hydrogeophysical approaches for determining/predicting/studying hydrologic properties and processes in both the saturated and unsaturated zones, at scales ranging from centimeters to watersheds. Through presentations of original research in our “General Sessions”, and analysis and interpretation using shared hydrogeophysical datasets in our “Homework Sessions”, the workshop will highlight the state of the science and critical future directions. We have defined topics for the General Sessions and will organize sessions around more specific topics with ~10 presentations in each session, based on the submitted abstracts. Our Homework Sessions will allow different investigators to independently analyze a shared dataset, with each homework designed to explore important aspects of acquiring, analyzing and interpreting hydrogeophysical data. In order to promote discussion, all accepted abstracts (for General and Homework Sessions) will be presented as posters, with a 3-5 minute oral presentation as an introduction. After viewing of posters, all sessions will reconvene for a panel-led discussion.
GENERAL SESSIONS:
? Characterizing Near-Surface Structure and Properties
? Advances in Monitoring and Time-Lapse Imaging of Subsurface Processes
? Thinking About Scaling Up: Geophysical Methods at the Watershed Scale
HOMEWORK SESSIONS:
? The Use of Electrical Resistivity Measurements for Monitoring Subsurface Processes: Quantifying Noise and Uncertainty
? The Ultimate Tomography Bake-Off Challenge Using Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site Borehole Seismic and GPR Datasets
? Designing the “Perfect” Field Experiment
The abstract submission deadline is 21 March 2012 and the advance registration deadline is 7 June 2012. For more information please visit: www.seg.org/meetings/hydrogeo12. We are looking forward receiving your abstracts.
