It is a simple electrical cable existing and used for years at the LSBB (France). Its singular location in this specifically transdisciplinary laboratory is an asset for its future use by a large scientific community. We propose to take advantage of the unusual length and surface of the loop and its very specific environment to increase its functionalities. More specifically, we investigate two different approaches : an active method consisting in monitoring the time evolution of its electrical characteristic; and a passive method consisting in measuring the environmental induced electrical voltage. We present both the experimental setup, the experimental protocols and a proof-of-concept for these two methods with surprising first experimental results. We discuss the opportunity offered by sharing this work with different scientific communities.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","volume":"292 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":"116454756","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}

The vadose zone is the compartment of the near surface where the pore space is saturated both by water and air, this yields a very complex and non-linear behavior in terms of water distribution and dynamics. The combination of electrical resistivity imaging and streaming potential have shown their potential to study this compartment. The streaming potential is particularly interesting as it is directly linked to the water flow and therefore offers a way for in situ monitoring. Nevertheless, the use of appropriate petrophysical relationships is required to quantitatively relate the streaming potential signals to the water flow, i.e., to model the electrokinetic coupling phenomena. During the last decade, the development of capillary-based models opened large perspectives to model flow, transport, and coupling in partially saturated porous media. In this contribution, we propose a critical comparison of existing electrokinetic coupling models, from the up-scaling approach they are based on to the capillary size distribution they consider to explain the streaming potential signal, or the shape of the capillaries they consider to explain complex features such as hysteresis.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","volume":"81 6 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":"131814211","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}

The survey is designed to map the characteristics of a coastal fluvial aquifer and support the management of groundwater resources. Processing the data from a 590 km2 subset of the survey, adjacent three urban centres, has been helped by using ground-based geophysical data. These data include ground-TEM, DC resistivity soundings, and borehole geophysical logs. Seismic reflection data across the region provide constraints on the deeper sections of the aquifer system (200 – 500 m). One of the key aims of the study is to map the variability of the surface geological strata that in places are a recharge zone and in other places a confining layer for the aquifer. The SkyTEM data have a spatial coverage (170 m line spacing and 20–30 m station spacing) that enables these units to be mapped in more detail than is possible with the current boreholes and ground geophysical data. In places the ground-based data provide valuable support for constraining the shallow SkyTEM models where data can be missing and deep parts of the SkyTEM model where the resolution is low.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","volume":"45 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":"127077312","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 our work, we analyse one of such contexts, the volcanic island of Fogo, Cape Verde, to evaluate the presence of groundwater for solving drought problems of a local vineyard. We acquired a profile of Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) soundings inside the target area, whereas we surveyed also external zones, near the few available wells, to correlate the acquisitions with stratigraphic information and water analyses. For the interpretation, we tailored three different inversion algorithms. First, we adopted a global search method, to obtain a 1D resistivity model without being trapped in possible local minima of the solution. We chose the stochastic Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, a computational-intelligence method based on the social dynamics of groups of animals. It was the starting point for the second inversion method, based on local search (1D inversion). In the end, a Spatially Constrained Inversion (SCI) interpretated the dataset with a pseudo-2D model. Our work provided a detailed characterization of the resistivity distribution in the subsurface of the vineyard, which outlined the presence of a probable thick suspended aquifer, which may contain exploitable groundwater resources.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","volume":"69 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":"132660498","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}

One novel method for characterizing DDMT is through geoelectrical inference, whereby electrical geophysical measurements are combined with pore fluid specific conductance measurements during a tracer experiment. Studies have shown the effectiveness of this method for characterizing DDMT in unconsolidated materials. We describe first of a kind instrumentation and results aimed at investigating evidence for a geoelectrical signature of DDMT in a rock core. A flow through apparatus was designed with the capability to simultaneously acquire bulk conductivity and specific conductance measurements on fluids extracted from the center of the core. A tracer experiment was run in three phases: initial, tracer flush, and tracer injection. Both specific conductance and bulk conductivity time series exhibit characteristic breakthrough behavior, with a delayed breakthrough of bulk conductivity relative to specific conductance, indicative of DDMT in the core. A strong hysteresis loop in the plot of bulk conductivity versus specific conductance is observed, consistent with the electrical geophysical signature of DDMT. The occurrence of DDMT at the core-scale indicates that it is likely ubiquitous within porous media across multiple scales.","PeriodicalId":396561,"journal":{"name":"NSG2021 1st Conference on Hydrogeophysics","volume":"17 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":"127528987","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}

First, we define a petrophysical-linked electrical signature of the Chalk that allows us to image the hydrogeological stratification of the aquifer. Then, we refine the geological settings of the largest and the most exploited (in terms of water resource) well field which is also the most affected by water quality problems. We identify a fracturing corridor inside the unaltered Chalk and we precise the geometry of the overlying Tertiary formations (Louvil Clays).

The technique of surface-NMR (SNMR), while providing valuable data on water content and permeability in the saturated zone, has difficulties to reliably detect and interpret signals from partly-saturated soils due to low signal amplitudes. Recently, SNMR using prepolarization (SNMR-PP) has gained interest to overcome this limitation. Here, a strong prepolarization field enhances the SNMR signal of coils with a footprint of below 1m up to a level that promises to enable soil moisture measurements in the upper two meters of the subsurface in the near future. We present the first SNMR-PP measurements on a real soil and demonstrate the general feasibility of this technique to qualitatively and quantitatively detect soil moisture.
