Objectives

The course objectives are to familiarize the participants with a wide range of hydrogeophysical methods to characterize the vadose zone and aquifers. The field of hydrogeophysics employs geophysical methods to derive hydrological relevant parameters such as soil water content, porosity, salinity, and hydraulic conductivity. Thereby, the methods are established to map and monitor processes associated with water resources, the water cycle, remediation of soils, cleanup of aquifers and contaminant transport processes.

The summer school will provide a good balance between experimental data acquisition, processing and analyzing the geophysical data. For characterizing the near surface several different geophysical methods are possible with each having benefits and drawbacks for certain objectives. The main methods during this course will be surface and borehole ground penetrating radar (GPR), reflection and refraction seismic, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and electromagnetic induction (EMI) mapping.

The focus of the processing and inversion approaches for each method will be based on standard routines, while also state of the art techniques will be demonstrated and presented e.g., full-waveform inversion and EMI inversion.

• Introduction to the different methods by experts of the fields
• Field experiments at the Forschunsgzentrum Jülich test sites
• Hand on exercise on the own measured data
• Processing and advanced inversion techniques for experimental data

Speakers

• Sarah Garré, Liège University, Belgium
• Yudi Pan, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany
• Sander Huisman, FZJ / University of Stuttgart, Germany
• Jan van der Kruk, FZJ / RWTH Aachen University, Germany
• Christian von Hebel, FZJ, Germany

Principal organizer

• Anja Klotzsche, FZJ, Germany

Target group

The course targets researchers and students in geophysics, geosciences, hydrology, earth and environmental sciences or similar studies, who want to improve their understanding of different near surface geophysical and hydrogeophysical methods, and, when and how these methods can be applied to characterize the environment with the best approaches.
