Geophysical Characterization of Karst and Fractured Pore Systems in the Terrestrial and Marine Subsurface

Session ID#: 80863

Session Description:
Karst and fractured pore systems in the subsurface are known to be especially difficult realms for geophysical characterization of groundwater flow and detection of natural hazards. This session deals with research related to geophysical methods applied to the characterization of karst and fractured pore systems and associated fluid flow in the terrestrial and marine subsurface—as well as the geophysical detection of natural hazards related to karst and fractures. The session will focus on the research domains of hydrology, hydrogeology, natural hazards, structural geology, and marine geology and geophysics. It also aims to discuss various characterization and modeling methods applied in each discipline with their consequences on the understanding of the genesis of karst and fractures, and their role in influencing fluid flow and in creating natural hazards.
