Emerging Technologies in Hydrogeophysics

Abstract

Hydrogeological systems and hydrological processes are quite complex. In hydrogeological systems, as in any complex system, there is a great demand to improve investigative technologies. The motivation for such new technologies is mainly the need for improved assessment (i.e., understanding, access, and description) of properties controlling hydrogeological structure and dynamics. A better understanding of such properties will also improve exploration by enabling the complementary and joint use of hydrogeological methods.
