HS8.2.8 Innovative methods for the quantification of processes in the sub-surface |
Convener: Maria V. Klepikova | Co-Conveners: Clement Roques , Pietro De Anna , Victor Bense , Marijke Huysmans |
The objective of this session is to discuss innovative methods for the quantification of relevant processes such as flow, transport, chemically driven or biologically mediated processes in heterogeneous porous and fractured media. Contributions may include, for example, imaging, advanced in-situ single- and/or cross-borehole hydraulic tests, hydrogeophysical techniques, strategies for borehole/borehole interval sealing. We particularly encourage integrative multi-physic methods, i.e. hydraulic, chemical or heat methods that elucidate heterogeneity of flow, transport and related processes. Ideas for future strategies related to experimental methods and interpretation of existing data are welcomed.
