| AG8005 | Special Topics on stochastic groundwater modeling | Hydrological, geophysical, and geochemical properties and processes of geological media are known to vary spatially and temporally at a multiplicity of scales and dimensions. In most realistic situations, scales of observations are often inconsistent with the scale of the tools for interpretation; scales of properties estimated from hydro/geophysical tests rarely agree with others; and modeled grid scales are frequently incoherent with the measurement scales. The arising issues are: how can we incorporate the estimations on different scales and provide appropriate strategies to better describe the distributions of hydrogeological properties in geological media? The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge of subsurface hydrology to quantitatively tackle issues relating to scales and spatial/temporal variability of hydrogeological properties in geological media. |
