Geophysical investigations for environmental and human processes in the near-surface
Geophysical investigations for environmental and human processes in the near-surface
Session ID#: 124801
Session Description:
The shallow subsurface is subject to the dynamic and longstanding influence of anthropogenic and environmental processes. While geophysical investigation of such targets warrants adaptive or combined approaches that consider the complex, heterogeneous nature of these upper layers, their shallow depth enables high-resolution observation and more straightforward integration of complementary invasive and non-invasive survey methods. In this session, we invite contributions to geophysical approaches for resolving small (less than tens of meters) targets and subtle variations in the shallow near surface.
We encourage cross-disciplinary investigations of anthropogenic and environmental targets, such as pollutant studies, geotechnical investigations, agricultural research, archaeology, engineering, forensics, and UXO detection. We especially welcome advances in multi-method or multi-scale approaches, survey design and instrumental development, numerical studies, forward and petrophysical modeling, and novel approaches to processing and interpretation
