Informed experimental design for electrical resistivity imaging
Electrical resistivity imaging has been successfully used to monitor near-surface hydrologic processes but use of standard measurement arrays may not provide the greatest data sensitivity to the imaged region. We present a method of experimental design based on the concept of informed imaging for creating an electrical resistivity imaging experiment to monitor flow beneath a recharge pond. Info...
متن کاملGeophysical subsurface imaging for ecological applications.
Ecologists, ecohydrologists, and biogeochemists need detailed insights into belowground properties and processes, including changes in water, salts, and other elements that can influence ecosystem productivity and functioning. Relying on traditional sampling and observation techniques for such insights can be costly, time consuming, and infeasible, especially if the spatial scales involved are ...
متن کاملImaging hyporheic zone solute transport using electrical resistivity
Traditional characterization of hyporheic processes relies upon modelling observed in-stream and subsurface breakthrough curves to estimate hyporheic zone size and infer exchange rates. Solute data integrate upstream behaviour and lack spatial coverage, limiting our ability to accurately quantify spatially heterogeneous exchange dynamics. Here, we demonstrate the application of near-surface ele...
متن کاملA closer look at rock physics models and their assisted interpretation in seismic exploration
Subsurface rocks and their fluid content along with their architecture affect reflected seismic waves through variations in their travel time, reflection amplitude, and phase within the field of exploration seismology. The combined effects of these factors make subsurface interpretation by using reflection waves very difficult. Therefore, assistance from other subsurface disciplines is needed i...
متن کاملComparison of pedogenic properties of some paddy and nonpaddy soils of southern Iran
ABSTRACT- Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. Present study was performed to investigate and compare soil formation of paddy soils with long-term rice cultivation history with non-paddy soils and study the effect of waterlogging on soil pedogenesis. Soil samples were taken from paddy and non-paddy soils derived from the same calcareous parent materials. Some pedogen...
