The shallow subsurface of the earth is an extremely important geological zone that yields much of our water resources, supports our agriculture and ecosystems and serves as a repository for waste and contaminants.
Quantitative information
The field of hydrogeophysics has developed in recent years to include the potential that geophysical methods hold for providing quantitative information about hydrogeological parameters or processes in the shallow subsurface zone.
One, two and three-dimensional data setsHydrogeophysics provides one, two and three-dimensional data sets that form important inputs for geological models which in turn form the basis for hydrostratigraphic models and numerical flow models.
In addition, COWI provides mutually constrained inversion methods to obtain further information where others stop.
State-of-the-art methods
COWI is on the forefront in the field of hydrogeophysics applying state-of-the-art methods, including:
- airborne electromagnetic mapping
- ground-based resistivity methods
- seismics.
Our expert team of hydrogeophysicists performs planning, execution, data processing and interpretations of all types of geophysics.
