This project will host the 2017 AGU-SEG Hydrogeophysics conference that will be coorganizedby the Society for Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). The meeting will be held at Stanford University July 24-27, 2017 and will focus on geophysics as a tool in critical zone science. The Critical Zone is the region of Earth from that reaches from the top of the vegetation down through the soil, weathered rock, and fractured bedrock to the base of the water table. Near surface geophysical methods have been used to image shallow root zones, quantify the architecture and depth of the Critical Zone, determine subsurface water content and the depth to the water table, measure groundwater/surface water interactions, and measure gas exchange between soils and the atmosphere. Despite the utility of using geophysical methods to address Critical Zone, there are minimal studies in which geophysical measurements are fully integrated within scientific studies of the Critical Zone.The conference goals are to: (1) Bring together and foster multidisciplinary collaborations between a diverse set of Critical Zone scientists and near surface geophysicists. (2) Identify areas in Critical Zone science where near surface geophysics is under-utilized. (3) Identify future research focus/funding areas for Critical Zone geophysics. (4)Produce a white paper highlighting future research opportunities. The organizing committee for the workshop consists of members from the communities of researchers engaged in near surface geophysics, hydrogeophysics and Critical Zone science and includes a broad range of career stages.

该项目将主办由勘探地球物理学家学会(SEG)和美国地球物理联合会(AGU)共同组织的2017年AGU-SEG水文地球物理会议。会议将于2017年7月24日至27日在斯坦福大学举行，重点讨论地球物理作为临界区科学工具的问题。临界区是指地球上从植被顶部一直延伸到土壤、风化岩石和破碎的基岩直至地下水位底部的区域。近地表地球物理方法已被用于成像浅层根区，量化临界区的结构和深度，确定地下含水率和地下水位深度，测量地下水/地表水相互作用，并测量土壤与大气之间的气体交换。尽管使用地球物理方法来处理临界区是有用的，但在极少的研究中，地球物理测量被完全整合到临界区的科学研究中。会议的目标是：(1)汇聚和促进不同的临界区科学家和近地表地球物理学家之间的多学科合作。(2)确定临界区科学中近地表地球物理未得到充分利用的领域。(3)确定关键地带地球物理未来的研究重点/资助领域。(4)编写一份强调未来研究机会的白皮书。讲习班的组织委员会由从事近地表地球物理、水文地球物理和临界区科学的研究人员社区的成员组成，包括广泛的职业阶段。
