The spatialization of the direct observations from sparse boreholes can only achieved by geophysical investigations.

Identifying if a rock glacier contains more or less ice is not an easy task, because most of the time, the ice is buried below rock blocks. Surface based geophysics can be a way to assess ice content, even tough calibration or ground truth is necessary to properly give any quantitative figure. This study aims to identify ice rich layers using geophysics on two Rock Glaciers (RG): an active and inactive one. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Seismic Refraction Tomography (SRT) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were carried out on those two RG. Seismic velocities and resistivity are higher in the active RG, which is in agreement with a higher ice content. Whilst velocities are in still in the usual geological range, resistivities are really high, which is not abnormal in the absence of liquid water or clay minerals. Interpretating resistivities only could led to misunderstandings because high resistivities could be seen as ice. The two RGs show a distinct signature regarding seismic velocities and resistivities, which demonstrate the potential of those tools to characterize RG.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","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":"130396965","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}

In France, stakeholders are considering the use of biodegradable and renewable material such as woodchips. This material has two main advantages: it has a high capillarity, thus a great capacity for water retention, and it amends the soil with carbon improving its structure. Moreover, woodchips have been told to promote biodiversity in particular for bioturbating species like earthworms, which play a major role regarding soil structure and organic matter transport into the soil. Such macrofaune is expected to promote water infiltration for poorly infiltrating capacity soils and to limit soil clogging caused by the infiltration of treated wastewater. In this study, we evaluate the interaction between woodchips and loamy soils on woodchip-filled trenches operated for 2 to 6 years using a non-destructive geophysical approach: Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Time Domain Induced Polarisation (TDIP). ERT provided information of the structure of the soil under the woodchip-filled trenches, but anything could be said about the impact of such system in the soil. By contrast, TDIP showed significant variations of the signal around the trenches which may result from the presence of organic matter.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","volume":"212 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":"132368934","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}

We suggest therefore a workflow that merges tTEM resistivity data and borehole lithologies, and uses these datasets to generate an ensemble of equally plausible 3D models of hydrogeological units and redox conditions. In an initial step the input datasets are merged via accumulated clay thickness modeling. This dataset is in a second step transformed into a training image, that is to be used in multipoint statistical simulations.
