Introduction to October Focus: Hydrogeophysics: The Past, Present & Future

Jon Fennell

The ability to detect and image things that are hidden from our sight has always been a fascination of humans. This applies to geoscience as much as any other field. With the ability to sense objects and materials beneath the earth’s surface, the discipline of exploration geophysics has been instrumental… continue reading.

Emergency Response Groundwater Exploration at Rohingya Refugee Camps in Bangladesh

Alastair McClymont, Paul Bauman, Colin Miazga, Eric Johnson, and Chris Slater

As geoscientists and engineers, and like most other professionals, we take pride in using our education and experience for the betterment of society. In developed countries, the value of such work on water supply projects may not be so obvious, where we take for granted that our communities will always… continue reading.

Extending the Reach of Radio Waves for Subsurface Water Detection

Gordon D.C. Stove

Shallow and deep groundwater can be a major environmental obstacle for any geophysical surveying technique, especially radio waves. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a mature technology with applications in many areas; see Daniels (2004) for an overview. Almost all applications are restricted to imaging the subsurface to a rather shallow… continue reading.

Advances in the Realm of Hydrogeophysics: The Emerging Role of Quantum Geoelectrophysics in Aquifer Exploration

Richard Hatala, Jon Fennell, and Gerald Gurba

Water is integral to our economy, the health of our environment, and a necessity for all life forms and human development. Most water is accessed from surface sources, primarily rivers, which are now under increased threat due to over use and growing hydro-political forces. Still, groundwater exists as a viable… continue reading.
