Lecture: Quantitative analysis and inversion of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data
Prof. Emanuele Forte (University of Tieste), November 22nd, Aula C, 14-16, via S. Maria 53
The seminar provides a general overview about the extraction of quantitative information from Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data.
After a summary about this geophysical techniques, I will highlight the applicability of GPR attributes calculation and its effectiveness for improved data interpretation and for the development of optimized quantitative inversion techniques. Several examples focused on various data sets with different purposes will be shown, including the density estimation of frozen materials, the brine detection for glaciological studies, the implementation of semi-automated optimized picking strategies, unsupervised petrophysical classification, neo-tectonic integrated studies, as well as the application of combined attributes for archaeological purposes.
E. Forte is assistant professor at the Mathematics and Geosciences Department of the Trieste University. His main research activities include shallow geophysics, geophysical data integration, GPR data processing and algorithm implementation, High-resolution reflection seismic, signal attributes, shallow water Electrical Resistivity Tomography, geophysical data integration and cross-validation. Researches focus on geophysical applications to geology, archaeology, glaciology, environmental problems (pollution, liquid contaminants and brownfields), engineering and hydrogeology. He is author/co-author of more than 50 scientific papers on international journals and more than 140 abstracts/extended abstracts on conference proceedings. He was involved in several acquisition surveys and international expeditions in Antarctic, Austria, Croatia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Israel, Malta, Perù, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey.

Prof. Gianluca Fiandaca from the Department of Geosciences of the Aarhus University (Denmark) delivers the lecture "Electric and Electromagnetic methods for mapping of groundwater resources and of permeability". Students and researchers are invited on Thursday, the 15th of November, h. 14:00-16:00, room C of the DST.
Short Abstract
Water is a prerequisite for all life on Earth. On a global scale, clean water for human consumption and crop irrigation ranks amongst the greatest societal challenges. Water management requires addressing the challenges of (amongst others) developing reliable and cost-efficient methods for mapping water resources and for predicting the spatio-temporal dynamics of hydrogeochemical processes. These challenges are exacerbated by the changing climate that will result in, among other things, increases in drought periods and sudden floods. Hydrogeophysics and hydrology are the key methods for addressing these challenges thanks to their ability to map and monitor the subsurface and to measure, model and predict groundwater flow.
Short Biography
Gianluca Fiandaca is Associate Professor in Hydrogeophysics at the Department of Geoscience of the Aarhus University (Denmark). He has key expertise in electric and electromagnetic methods and integration with hydrological data for improved mapping of groundwater resources, development of geophysical processing and inversion algorithms and geophysical characterization of contaminated sites, landfills and leachate plumes.
