Advances in the instrumented subsurface: bridging the gap between subsurface characterization and next-generation techniques for simulation and data analytics

Session ID#: 83205

Session Description:
Engineering the subsurface through the use of engineered infrastructure and modification of material properties in the surrounding geology encompasses a range of activities in the natural resource industry, and nuclear waste repository science.   An evolving trend in  is the integration of multiple/disparate data streams into a machine-learning framework for improved detection of transient events and/or changes in the subsurface environment related to its natural evolution or direct human inteference.   Driving this trend is the need for real-time situational awareness – snapshots of the geology and infrastructure – to inform decisions such as, for example, reservoir and remediation management.

This session invites presentations that focus on experimental, computational, or field studies related to subsurface infrastructure, or underground research and testing.  Topics may include: monitoring and/or detection of subsurface fluids or fate and transport of waste materials; chemo-mechanical evolutuion of subsurface infrastructure, performance assessment or safety analysis of subsurface containment.
