Papers are invited for Session NS02: "Exploration of the Cryosphere
Using Near-Surface Geophysical Techniques: Synergism in the
International Polar Year" being convened at the American Geophysical
Union (AGU) Fall Meeting on 10-14 December 2007 in San Francisco,
California.
Session Description:
Many exciting advances have been made in the application of geophysical
methods to the investigation of physical, chemical, hydrological, and
geological processes in the shallow subsurface. For the most part, this
progress has been made by parallel research efforts in diverse fields
such as hydrogeophysics and glaciology. This session focuses on the
latest scientific developments in the characterization of the cryosphere
using near-surface geophysical techniques such as electromagnetic
induction, radar, and seismics. In the spirit of the International Polar
Year, papers from non-related near-surface applications that have
significant potential for cryosphere investigations will be vigorously
sought in an effort to encourage further collaboration within the
near-surface geophysical community. The conveners welcome theoretical or
experimental studies including field or laboratory experiments, field
monitoring, and theoretical or numerical modeling studies.
