In the induced polarization (IP) geophysical method the electrical polarizability of subsurface soils and rocks is measured for exploration purposes. While originally developed for the prospection and characterization of mineral deposits, which represent well polarizable targets, in recent years the value of the IP method also has been recognized for near-surface studies in relatively low-polarizable, sedimentary environments. The latter development has become possible due to considerable improvements over the last decade in instrumentation, macroscopic modelling and inversion techniques, and the understanding of the microscopic origin of IP. Promising applications of the IP method are particularly seen in the rapidly emerging fields of hydrogeophysics and biogeophysics, including for instance the characterization of hydraulic properties or the monitoring of biogeochemical processes in the subsurface. The aim of the workshop is to discuss the recent developments of the method as well as future research needs, applications and limitations. Any contribution on the subject is welcome, addressing for example data acquisition, petrophysical relationships, theory and laboratory studies, inverse modelling and imaging, or dealing with environmental, hydrological or engineering applications.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
