【 摘 要 】

The significance of this project is that it addresses the issue of site characterization: not only is this issue a very significant budget item in the site clean-up effort, but also it is now realized that accurate and reliable site characterization is the key to the success of any cleanup effort. Our research objective is to develop methodologies for inexpensive high resolution imaging of natural heterogeneities and for relating these heterogeneities to the hydrogeologic parameters that control flow and contaminant transport. Our focus is to help establish the scientific basis for applying shallow geophysics to hydrogeological problems, through sediment-rock physics. This includes identifying uncertainties in applying shallow geophysics interpretations to hydrogeological site characterization.
