U.S.-Czechoslovakia Research on Aquifer Transport PropertiesUsing Geoelectric Methods

内布拉斯加州大学的威廉·凯利博士和布拉格查尔斯大学的斯坦尼斯拉夫·马雷斯博士合作开展的这项美国-捷克斯洛伐克合作研究项目的主要目标是扩大地表地电的定量能力，以估计含水层的输送特性。研究人员计划1)建立合适的地电学模型用于运输测量；2)对模型进行测试，看看用直流地面地电法可以确定多大的分辨率输运特性；3)在实际现场对方法进行验证。将采用适当的方法组合，包括剖面法、测深法、大质量法和埋电极法。研究人员的努力有望开发出一种方法，可以将地电测量数据与生产井的测量数据结合起来，以确定含水层的特性，从而评估井口区域，并从污染运动的测量中确定输送特性。​这个关于含水层运移特性的项目实现了推进科学知识的计划目标，使美国和东欧的领先专家能够在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源。

The primary objective of this US-Czechoslovak Cooperative research project between Dr. William Kelly of University of Nebraska and Dr. Stanislav Mares of Charles University, Prague is to extend the quantitative capabilities of surface geoelectrics for estimating aquifer transport properties. The researchers plan 1) to establish appropriate geoelectrical models for transport measure- ments; 2) to test the models to see to what resolution transport properties can be determined by direct current surface geoelectrical methods; and 3) to test the methodology on an actual field site. An appropriate combination of methods will be employed including profiling, sounding, mise-a-la-masse, and buried electrode. The researchers' efforts are expected to develop a methodology that could be used to combine data from geoelectrical measurements with measurements from production wells to determine the properties of aquifers for evaluation of wellhead areas and the transport properties from measurements of pollution movement. This project in aquifer transport properties fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Eastern Europe to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
