Research area 4
Geophysical principles and physical modeling applied to near-surface engineering, groundwater exploration, and shallow geotechnical safety.
Core focus & scope
This area applies geophysical methods, electrical resistivity tomography, and seismic refraction to shallow-depth site investigations, groundwater preservation, and environmental safety.
In practice: aquifer delineation, hydrogeophysics, civil site characterization, geotechnical structural assessment, environmental contamination mapping, and shallow physical property inversion.
Non-invasive geophysical imaging to map aquifer geometries, track groundwater storage levels, and assess subsurface water quality.
Soil mechanical properties, bedrock depth, and foundation stability assessment for civil structures, dams, and urban development projects.
Detecting subsurface pollutant plumes and landfill leachate dispersion, and monitoring soil remediation with resistivity and GPR data.
Surface-wave dispersion (MASW), electrical, and electromagnetic datasets combined into joint inversions for accurate shallow physical profiles.
