Near Surface Geophysics for Hydrology Workshop August 15 - 19, 2016 || Laramie, WY Early Bird Registration Deadline: June 1st Regular Registration Deadline: June 15th
Over the past 10 years, near surface geophysics has become very accessible to non-experts, due to the development of reliable, easy-to-use instrumentation and intuitive, user-friendly software. As a result, new opportunities exist for applying near surface geophysical techniques to problems of watershed hydrology and critical zone processes. The Hands-on Workshop, "Near-Surface Geophysics for Hydrology" will introduce participants to several key methods of near-surface geophysics and their application to hydrology and critical zone processes. Techniques covered will include: * Seismic refraction * Ground Penetrating Radar * Electrical resistivity * Magnetics * Electromagnetic Induction * Borehole Geophysical Logging * Nuclear Magnetic Resonance The course will combine lecture and hands-on instruction with state-of-the-practice geophysical equipment and software. Graduate students, post-docs, and professionals working in hydrology, geology, ecology and geophysics are invited to participate. No prior experience in geophysics is required. The course will be held at the University of Wyoming<http://www.uwyo.edu/> in Laramie, WY. Course tuition, facilities costs, catered lunches and light refreshments, and transportation to/from field sites are included in the registration fee.
