Over the last three decades, hydrogeophysics has emerged as an important sub-discipline in hydrogeology and  ecohydrology. It involves investigations of the structure and processes of the subsurface environment, at different spatiotemporal scales, by identifying key properties and state variables related to water flow and solute transport. The first EAGE conference on Hydrogeophysics, in Bordeaux, 2021, will bring together geoscientists from academia, research institutes, industry, service and engineering companies to present and discuss the state-of-art in the latest research and advances on Hydrogeophysics.

The objective is to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of hydrogeophysical research (tools and theoretical advances) for investigating dynamic processes in subsurface settings regarding various environmental issues such as water resources management, remediation, natural and anthropogenic hazards as well shallow geothermal energy. It will allow identification of challenges and ways forward within an integrated cross disciplinary Framework.

The technical program of this first EAGE conference on Hydrogeophysics will cover the widest range of topics on geophysics (e.g. airborne/satellite, surface based and logging) applied in all types of hydrosystems of the Critical Zone (e.g. fractured, karstified and porous aquifers, volcanic and complex aquifers, island aquifers, wetlands, saltwater intrusion, permafrost) and at different temporal (from seasonal to  high frequency monitoring) and spatial scales (from sample to the catchment scale).
