[Geophysics] AGU Joint Assembly "New Geophysical Tools and Software" Session

[Remke van Dam]

L.S.,

We invite abstracts for the session NS03 "New Geophysical Tools and
Software for High-Resolution Field Site Characterization" at the AGU
Joint Assembly from 27-30 May 2008 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Session description: Rapid progress in geophysical measurement 
technology related to positioning, wireless communication, fiber-optics, 
handheld computing and visualization has greatly improved efficiency and 
precision of field data acquisition. This session will serve as a forum 
for geophysicists, hydrologists and resource managers to exchange 
practical experiences and explore ways to advance characterization of 
field sites for hydrologic, environmental, and engineering applications. 
The creation of shared instrument- and expertise pools, as done for 
example by the CUAHSI Hydrologic Measurement Facility for Geophysics, 
makes these new tools available to the wider community. The case 
histories in this session will illustrate the possibilities and 
limitations of new geophysical tools and software.

After the session, presenters will have the opportunity to demonstrate 
their equipment and/or software in a workshop/demo.

The abstract deadline is 5 March 2008. More information on the program 
can be found at http://www.agu.org/meetings/ja08/
