Meeting Summary
A successful and interesting meeting
with a broad range of excellent academic and industrial talks involving most of
the common near-surface geophysical techniques.
A strong theme was the hydrological and
sedimentary characterisation of the Triassic Sandstone using electrical/GPR
methods and its role as a major aquifer/reservoir unit. |
