Featuring:
Dr. Ro semary Knight, Ph.D.
Wedne sday, November 15th
The Sustainable Groundwater Management Act provides a new framework for the evaluation and management of groundwater in California. Unfortunately, the only data typically available for use i n the required modeling and monitoring of groundwater systems are limited well data. This has led to a search for new ways to acquire data with the needed levels of spatial and temporal sampling. Over the past ten years, t he Center for Groundwater Evaluation and Management at Stanford University has worked in a number of locations in the western U.S., to explore and d emonstrate novel ways of acquiring, processing, and analyzing geophysical data to obtain information about subsurface properties and processes. Thre e examples are the use of electrical resistivity tomography to image saltw ater intrusion along the Monterey Coast\; the use of a helicopter-deployed electromagnetic method to map out the hydrostratigraphy in an area of the San Joaquin Valley\; and the use of satellite (InSAR) data to monitor wat er levels in a confined aquifer in the San Luis Valley of Colorado. These three examples highlight ways in which geophysical methods can provide the critical information needed to support the sustainable management of grou ndwater systems.
