International Research Partners

The Applied Geophysics group, University of Bonn, led by Prof. Andreas Kemna, specializes in the development of geophysical methods for characterization and monitoring of structures and processes in the subsurface, with a focus on hydrogeological and contaminant properties.

Engineering Geology, Lund University, specializes in applied geophysics, hydrogeology and drilling technology. Torleif Dahlin has spent his whole career working on the development of DCIP acquisition methodology, instruments and software, leading to e.g. ABEM Lund Imaging System.

Kansas University, Prof.  J.F (Rick) Devlin, is an expert in hydrogeology, environmental chemistry and field instrumentation. He developed the Point Velocity Probe (PVP), which uses a tracer to obtain a centimeter-scale measurement of groundwater velocities in aquifers. He is experienced in reactive transport experimentation and modeling, particularly applied to reactive zones in aquifers.

International Advisory Board. Prof. Chunmiao Zheng, Beijing University is Founding Director, Center for Water Research, Peking University, Beijing, China. He is an international leader in field, laboratory, and theoretical studies of contaminant transport processes.

Dr. Isabelle Cozzarelli, United States Geological Survey  (USGS) is a Research Hydrologist in the USGS National Research Program (Reston, VA).  She has an extensive record of interdisciplinary research on the fate and geochemical effect of organic contaminants in subsurface environments. Her current focus is on studies of aquifers and wetlands contaminated with hydrocarbons and landfill leachate, with an emphasis on understanding the long-term natural attenuation of contaminants in the subsurface.

Prof. Lee Slater, Rutgers University is a recognized international expert on the induced polarization geophysical method and has written a number of key papers discussing the basic petrophysics and measurement principles. His research is based on a combination of controlled laboratory experiments in combination with large scale experiments where he deploys the methods on field scale contaminated sites.
