In the next decades, expected changes in the water cycle will be a major driver in shaping our environment and its ecosystems. Water is the key factor for life and for sustaining food, feed and biomass for energy production in today’s bio-based economies. The water cycle will be strongly affected by climate change but the extent and impact on ecosystems functioning and services are only roughly known. Increasing hydrological extremes, such as floods and droughts, may lead to severe ecological, economic and societal impacts. In a recent review, Vereecken et al. (2015) urged the hydrological science community to establish a network of hydrological observatories in Europe. At present, there is no concerted and dedicated action in the field of hydrology neither in Europe nor world-wide with respect to making hydrological data accessible to the research community and in designing cross-catchment experiments.

Modelling physical properties of rocks based on microstructure derived from X-ray microtomographic images (known as digital rock physics) is an important technology in geophysical rock characterization. However, these images are most commonly obtained at room pressure and temperature conditions. Consequently, most digital rock physics models are not representative of the rocks at depth.

In this lecture, we will discuss the ways how to obtain 3D images under elevated temperature and stress conditions, as well the challenges with the imaging and further image processing. Finally, we will provide some results to demonstrate how microstructure of the rocks can be link to transport and elastic properties of rocks measured on bigger samples.

IS-Porto 2023 aims to continue the success of previous symposia: Hokkaido 1994, Torino 1999, Lyon 2003, Atlanta 2008, Seoul 2011, Buenos Aires 2015 and Glasgow 2019. This symposium will focus on the understanding of the deformation properties of geomaterials before failure, especially on the small-strain stiffness parameters as fundamental characteristics of geomaterials, and their implications in geotechnical design.

Experimental investigations from very small strains to beyond failure - Advances in laboratory testing techniques (equipment and procedures). - Advances in field testing and monitoring techniques. - Advanced sampling. - Data interpretation and geotechnical imaging. - Multiscale problems in geomechanics (micro‐to‐macro strains). II. Behaviour, characterization and modelling of various geomaterials and interfaces - Constitutive modelling of geomaterials. - Physical and numerical modelling. - Anisotropy and localisation. - Time-dependent response. - Cyclic and dynamic behaviour. - Soil stabilisation and improvement. - Thermal behaviour. - Non-textbook soils: intermediate soils (partially drained, etc). - Sensitive and liquefiable soils: tailings and other highly brittle strain-softening soils. - Frozen soils. - Soil-plant interaction. III. Practical prediction and interpretation of ground response: field observation and case histories - Integrated site characterization: derived values to be actually used in the design. - Performance evaluation of geotechnical structures: how to improve our understanding of our “affordable” test methods that typically measure something else (hopefully reasonably related). - Field monitoring and observational method: new systems for measuring deformations in support of alert-to-alarm criteria.

The heterogeneous near surface consists of the complex interactions between rock, soil, water, air, and living organisms, which determine the availability of life-sustaining resources such as water. This environment has been increasingly exploited for human needs, such as water supply, to store our waste and food production. To assess the environmental risk associated with such exploitation and exploration, the near surface has to be investigated and characterized with high resolution methods to enhance our understanding of e.g., hydrological and biogeochemical processes. In this presentation, we will focus on the potential of ground penetrating radar (GPR) to investigate small-scale processes and to enhanced the reconstruction of the subsurface properties. GPR can be applied to a wide range of applications to solve geological, hydrogeophysical, permafrost and civil engineering questions, to name just a few examples. Especially, the GPR full-waveform inversion (FWI) demonstrated in the last decade the benefits of an improved high-resolution method to assess geological, hydrological, and biogeochemical subsurface properties and related processes. This presentation will emphasize the recent developments and applications that we accomplished in the last years using novel GPR algorithms ranging from large-scale high resolution aquifer characterization, investigation of flow and transport processes and agricultural management. These examples demonstrate the significant role that GPR and the FWI can have to enhance our near surface characterization to support management decisions.

Earth Science Week 2023 will explore established and emerging technologies and techniques used by geoscientists as they play a growing role in society through developing stable infrastructure; fostering sustainable water, mineral and energy resources; analyzing and applying data about the Earth; and keeping people safe from natural hazards. The celebration also will highlight the wide range of fascinating and rewarding careers in the geosciences, and the ways that those careers are vital to understanding, monitoring, and living on the planet.

Geoscientists and engineers are very comfortable using seismic data sets acquired with geophones, hydrophones, and accelerometers because we have a long, well-defined set of standards for acquiring, processing, and interpreting them. However, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) seismic measurements are rapidly augmenting, and in some cases replacing, the data from these conventional tools. Technologists are frequently unaccustomed to using DAS seismic data sets since it directly acquires relative strain or strain rate measurements and not the more familiar pressure, displacement, velocity, and acceleration data. There are also acquisition parameter selections that must be made to optimize the acquired data to accomplish the purpose of the seismic survey. This course is designed to build an intuition and understanding of the value, limitations, and applications of DAS seismic technology. In addition to the lecture and accompanying book, software will be provided, which will allow the student to interactively explore DAS seismic technology.

While Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) has made giant strides recently for deep water subsurface imaging, the technology is lagging significantly for land and shallow water applications. Noise — whether ambient or source related — is clearly an issue, especially for the low frequencies that are so critical for successful implementation. Perhaps more problematic is the need to construct an accurate high-resolution model of the near surface. Depending on the terrain, the near surface can have large velocity contrasts, high anisotropy, high attenuation, significant heterogeneities leading to scattering, and strong multiple generators. A proper model of the near surface needs to be possibly viscoelastic and requires a fine computational grid to handle the ultra-low elastic velocities we encounter in the near surface, which may be a challenge for today’s computer capacity. To make matters worse, the near surface is often ill-sampled by cost effective 3D acquisition designs. Despite all these hurdles we are starting to see some beneficial FWI applications to land and shallow water surveys. How important are data conditioning, wavelet estimation, and the choice of the initial model? Do we have to move to elastic FWI? Can ground roll, mud roll, and multiples help rather than hinder the process? Do we need to design our surveys differently? Can we use other complementary data? What do we do with all the scattering noise? What is the role of machine learning (ML)? Is there room for improvement in acquisition? The goal of this workshop is to review the state-of-the art and investigate the next key steps to address some of these questions. Even though FWI is a potentially “complete model” of complex wave propagation, is the problem currently too difficult and too expensive that it needs help in the form of data conditioning and model conditioning? If so, what type of data conditioning and modeling conditioning?

It is widely accepted that habitability and the capability of a planet to maintain its habitable conditions are deeply interwoven with its chemical composition and physical properties such as its atmospheric and geological/geophysical characteristics, orbital motion, dynamics, and its interactions with its host star. How these interactions originate and how they enable the planet to maintain its habitability are complex questions that can only be answered through collaborations between scientists of their respective fields. This workshop aims to bring together scientists from the fields of stellar astrophysics, planetary science, planetary dynamics, geology, and geophysics to discuss fundamental questions regarding the formation, characterization, and detection of habitable planets. Our plan is to facilitate interactions among participants through lectures, presentations and discussion sessions as well as to provide them with ample time to initiate collaborations and carry out their independent research. Our workshop is open to scientists of all levels, in particular junior and early-career researchers.
