Session Proposal: Advances in Induced Polarization: Theory, Applications, and Data Processing (AGU25)

NS005
Advances in Induced Polarization: Theory, Applications, and Data Processing

Session ID#: 249772

Session Description:
Recent advancements in the theoretical understanding of induced polarization (IP), along with improvements in hardware and computational processing, have led to significant progress in the characterization of petrophysical properties and our understanding of hydrogeologic processes. Further, these developments have provided new insights into important environmental mechanisms, such as carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling. In response to these advancements, this session aims to highlight novel applications and exploratory approaches of IP at field, column, and fluidic scales, alongside improvements to experimental techniques. We invite submissions for research on mineral exploration, environmental management, hydrogeophysical characterization, and any related discipline, using field and/or laboratory-based IP. Contributions that incorporate modeling and inversion, machine learning, AI-driven interpretation, and joint-application of complementary geophysical methods (e.g., seismic, ground penetrating radar, electromagnetics) are also encouraged.
