Session Proposal: Recent Advances in Near-Surface Geophysics (General Contributions) (AGU25)

NS015
Recent Advances in Near-Surface Geophysics (General Contributions)

Session ID#: 252126

Session Description:
Recent developments in instrumentation and modeling software have expanded the application of geophysical methods within the fields of environmental monitoring and remediation, subsurface characterization, and ecosystem management. Moreover, improvements to open-source systems have increased the accessibility of geophysical tools for researchers and practitioners. This session invites submissions showcasing the use of electromagnetic and seismic methods in both field and laboratory investigations, across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. Multidisciplinary approaches within ecohydrology and hydrogeology are of particular interest to this session.
