Borehole Geophysics Introductory Short Course - Workshop, 7 CEPs
This one-day noncommercial offering will provide ground water managers, consulting hydrogeologists, and engineers with the background necessary for selecting appropriate geophysical technologies and for interpreting borehole geophysical data for optimizing well design, improving conceptual model development, characterizing contaminated site complexity, and characterizing fractured media. Borehole geophysical technologies are regularly used as the foundation for ground water resource evaluation, aquifer storage and recovery design, mine water management, environmental site characterization, regional ground water monitoring, geotechnical analysis, and sea water intrusion assessment. Part 1 of the short course focuses on introducing the physical principles of more than a dozen different logging technologies and their respective limitations and applications. Part 2 focuses on class exercises that will challenge attendees to design an appropriate logging suite to meet particular needs and will also focus on interpreting actual data to solve problems in an integrated framework.
