ABSTRACT Over the last 15 years significant advancements in induced polarization (IP) research have taken place, particularly with respect to spectral IP (SIP), concerning understanding of mechanisms phenomenon, conduction accurate and broadband laboratory measurements, modelling inversion data for imaging purposes increasing application method near‐surface investigations. We summarize here current state science SIP applications describe which aspects still represent open issues should be...
Water scarcity is a serious environmental problem in many European regions, and will likely increase the near future as consequence of increased abstraction climate change. exacerbates effects multiple stressors, thus results decreased water quality. It impacts river ecosystems, threatens services they provide, it force managers policy-makers to change their current practices. The EU-FP7 project GLOBAQUA aims at identifying prevalence, interaction linkages between assess on chemical...
There is growing interest in the use of geophysical methods for hydrological model parameterization. Empirical induced polarization (IP)–hydraulic conductivity ( K ) relationships have been developed, but these are only applicable to sediments which IP response shows limited variation with electrical current frequency. Here we examine spectral samples taken from a UK sandstone aquifer and compare measured parameters physical hydraulic properties. We demonstrate value existing IP‐ models due...
When a new ground source heat exchanger field is planned, underground thermal properties input data are necessary for the correct sizing of geo-exchange system. To support design, EU founded Cheap-GSHPs project developed Decision Support System, that comprises database both rocks and unconsolidated sediments. The has been by integrating comparing (1) provided most important international guidelines, (2) acquired from wide literature review (3) obtained more than 400 direct measurements....
Abstract. Mass and energy exchanges between soil, plants atmosphere control a number of key environmental processes involving hydrology, biota climate. The understanding these also play critical role for practical purposes e.g. in precision agriculture. In this paper we present methodology based on coupling innovative data collection models order to obtain quantitative estimates the parameters such complex flow system. particular propose use hydro-geophysical monitoring via "time-lapse"...
In recent years geophysical methods have become increasingly popular for hydrological applications. Time‐lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) represents a potentially powerful tool subsurface solute transport characterization since full picture of the spatiotemporal evolution process can be obtained. However, quantitative interpretation tracer tests is difficult because uncertainty related to geoelectrical inversion, constitutive models linking and quantities, priori unknown...
The surface wave method is a popular tool for geotechnical characterization because it supplies cost-effective testing procedure capable of retrieving the shear velocity structure near-surface. Several acquisition and processing approaches have been developed to infer Rayleigh dispersion curve which then inverted. Typically, in active testing, single-component vertical receivers are used. In most cases, inversion carried out assuming that experimental corresponds single mode, mostly...
This study intricately unfolds a pioneering methodology for remediating contaminants in persistent light non-aqueous phase liquids (LNAPL)-contaminated site. The remediation strategy seamlessly integrates enhanced desorption and in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO), orchestrating the injection of PetroCleanze® (a desorbent) RegenOx® (an oxidizer) through meticulously designed wells. These injections, based on detailed geological hydrogeological assessments, aim at mobilizing residual subsequent...
For all applications, subsurface models should be consistent with available geological and geophysical knowledge. Current practices for synergistic interpretation of approaches often rely on purely qualitative comparisons, resulting sometimes in inconsistent findings. This study introduces a procedure statistical geo-constrained clustering electrical resistivity data derived from Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) to address this gap, providing quantitative parameterization...

This study focuses on use dielectric measurements monitor fluid saturation changes in materials. A number empirical, semi‐empirical and theoretical relationships currently exists that link constant with volumetric water content. One such relationship, named complex refractive index...

The characterization of the vadose zone, i.e. part subsurface above water table, is a challenging task. This zone difficult to access with direct methods without causing major disturbance natural in‐situ conditions. Hence increasing use geophysical capable imaging presence in such as ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT). type monitoring can be applied both processes infiltration artificial injection (tracer) tests, by collecting multiple data sets...
The noninvasive characterization of the vadose zone has been objective intense research aiming at collecting data for calibration flow and transport models. This interest is motivated by difficulty accessing with direct methods without causing disturbance to natural conditions. On other hand, characterizing requires detailed knowledge space time variations water distribution. Geophysical capable imaging moisture content, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR) electrical resistance tomography...

Abstract Recent advances in geophysical methods have been increasingly exploited as inverse modeling tools groundwater hydrology. In particular, several attempts to constrain the hydrogeophysical problem reduce inversion errors made using time‐lapse measurements through both coupled and uncoupled (also known sequential) approaches. Despite appeal popularity of approaches, their superiority over has not proved conclusively; goal this work is provide an objective comparison between two...
