Abstract

The integration of geophysical data into the subsurface characterization problem has been shown in many cases to significantly improve hydrological knowledge by providing information at spatial scales and locations that is unattainable using conventional hydrological measurement techniques. An important issue, however, is determining how the geophysical data can be optimally processed and used for maximum hydrological benefit. Here, we focus on the development of an optimal procedure for inverting crosshole ground-penetrating radar (GPR) data to characterize the distribution of hydrological parameters at the Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site. Specifically, we develop a novel approach to jointly invert several intersecting crosshole GPR data sets, which is found to provide a consistent GPR velocity model that is highly correlated with complementary neutron-porosity log data. This is an important prerequisite to using the crosshole GPR data with existing hydrological measurements for improved flow and transport modeling.
