Geophysics and Monitoring
The Working group Geophysics & Monitoring is devoting itself to the R&D fields:
- rock-physically and soil-physically reasoned application of geophysical measurements for the characterization, management and protection of ground water resources;
- development of monitoring techniques and strategies for a preferably adulteration-free groundwater monitoring and fluid sampling;
- development of borehole measurement techniques and interpretation algorithms for the appraisal of the representativeness of (groundwater monitoring) wells and boreholes (e.g., well evaluation and flow detection).
