Hydrogeophysics: Theory, Methods, and Modeling
GEOL or GEOPH 497 (Undergraduate level);
GEOL or GEOPH 597 (Graduate level)
Boise State University, Boise (ID), USA
June 18-29, 2007
The 2007 hydrogeophysics workshop was a two week summer field school organized by Boise State University (Idaho) and the University of Calabria (Italy), on June 18th- 29th, 2007, entitled Hydrogeophysics: Theory, Methods, and Modeling appealing to students, practitioners, consultants, and academics alike. This was an intensive two-week course for advanced undergraduate and graduate students with quantitative preparation in science or engineering, especially hydrology and/or geophysics. The course was taught in 3-hour daily sessions (M-F) covering theory, field methods (including hands-on exercises), and modeling methods for quantitative characterization and imaging of the shallow subsurface using data from field methods such as ground penetrating radar, electrical methods, and pumping tests. Prerequisites include: Geology 100, Math 333, and Physics 212, or permission of instructor. This course was a 2-credit Summer semester class at Boise State University.
