Local authorities are considering restoration work and have requested a geophysical survey of the surroundings. First, aerial photography by drone yields a Structure from Motion (SfM) model of the exterior of the chapel, completed by a 3D interior model. Geophysical prospecting consists in imaging shallow surface of surroundings, with help of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI). GPR measurements clearly reveal former apses on both sides of the chapel, corresponding to the transepts meets in perfect agreement with the presence of filled-in openings visible in the 3D interior photogrammetric model. The ERI measurements underline the presence of a very resistive substratum, probably corresponding to the local chalky formation where the chapel was built. Besides, resistive formation underlines the potential earthworks carried out to support the transepts meets, correlated with GPR signals. Several GPR and ERI anomalies have not been interpreted and deserve deeper investigation: archaeological excavations remains the only solution to confirm their nature. The restitution within the photogrammetric model allows a very explicit display of the results, integrating the architecture of the chapel and geophysical measurements.","PeriodicalId":120362,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 27th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126033113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With an increased recognition of the value of shear wave velocity measurements as a critical design parameter in the marine geotechnical industry, there is a real requirement to develop a cost effective shear wave seismic data acquisition methodology. This case study documents field trials at Dollymount Strand, Dublin using fibre optic cables as continuous seismic sensors for the collection of surface wave data. Data were collected using an OptaSense ODH4 interrogator connected to a 1000m long CST armoured single mode fibre optic cable. A Sercel Mini G airgun, operated from a survey vessel, was used as the seismic source. The collection of data from an intertidal site allowed for direct comparison of different acquisition methodologies in both dry and flooded conditions. The findings of the study showed that Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) was effective at collecting shallow marine seismic data for analysis using the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) method. Using DAS in this environment has great potential due to the rapid data acquisition compared to other currently available technologies.","PeriodicalId":120362,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 27th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115517817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time-domain induced polarization is used to image clogging distribution of a gravel filter from a horizontal subsurface flow treatment wetland. Experimental data performed on the laboratory demonstrates the linear relationship between the normalized chargeability and the amount of clogging in the gravel filter because of the substantial increase of the cation exchange capacity caused by clogging coating these grains. Therefore, we were able to convert the normalized chargeability tomograms obtained with the field data into a 3D distribution of the percent clogging. This method allows to identify the zones were the clogging has accumulated through the filter and therefore predict preferential flow paths and dead flow zones. This is an important task to plan preventive measures and anticipate the filter obstruction that may decreases the effectiveness of the wastewater treatment system.","PeriodicalId":120362,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 27th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics","volume":"199 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123238721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the data is acquired, advanced processing techniques such as Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) can be applied to obtain information for a wide variety of applications. Historically DAS is used as a complementary tool to improve understanding of flow distribution along the entire length of a producing wellbore. It is commonly used in collaboration with DTS to interpret and define flow allocation throughout the life of the well. 3D DAS Vertical Seismic Profiles (VSPs) also can be used as a cost-effective tool for the time-lapse reservoir monitoring due to the finer channel sampling and flexibility in deploying the fiber-optic cables. The application of FWI to 3D DAS is an innovative way to image the steam chamber during the steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) process for Oil Sands. This successful case study demonstrates that 3D DAS FWI can provide a significantly more cost-effective and technically equivalent alternative to conventional 4D seismic programs.","PeriodicalId":120362,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 27th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123724005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new model is a generalization of the so-called differential scheme (DS) used to infer the effective properties of a composite made up of several materials. It is named the fractional differential scheme and is based on a fractional integral formulation of the DS for a porous medium considered as a two-component composite. The formulation of the fractional DS introduces two parameters: a cementation exponent m and a fractional order α. The fractional order α is assumed to account for the amplitude of the so-called surface conduction on clay minerals. Both parameters m and α are inverted from a set of electrical conductivity measurements obtained on clay rocks. The inversion results demonstrate that the fractional DS model is able to capture the dependence of the cation concentration on the effective electrical conductivity of the clay rocks under study. Our results also show that the fractional order α can be considered an indirect indicator of the amplitude of physico-chemical interactions between hydrated cations and swelling clay minerals occurring at the pore fluid/solid interface.","PeriodicalId":120362,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 27th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132122550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies of the slope have shown good correlation between the low frequency strain and temperature measured using the fibre with prior knowledge of the geology of the site and longer-term measurements made on more established geological survey instruments. This paper presents a more detailed comparison of measurements made on the DRS system over the winter of 2020/2021, with measurements of soil moisture content made on point sensors and estimates of ground movement measured using GPS marker posts. The DRS system is sensitive to multiple important indicators of slope instability and can monitor ground movement effectively. Areas of unstable ground can be clearly identified by the larger changes observed in the fibre output in those regions.","PeriodicalId":120362,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 27th European Meeting of Environmental and Engineering Geophysics","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125676619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
