Comparing thermogravimetric, TDR, ERT and EMI measurements of space and time evolution of water content along a transect during an infiltration experiment  Open
Monitoring and modelling of soil hydrological processes at large scales require measuring the spatial and temporal evolution of soil volumetric water contents, θv. Direct measurement of θv can be done by sampling and laboratory analyses. A…
A CASE STUDY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY PRINCIPLES TO WASTE MANAGEMENT: INTEGRATED TREATMENT OF CHEESE WHEY AND HI-TECH WASTE Open
In a global context characterized by severe environmental problems and increasing resource scarcity, waste represents both a challenge and an opportunity. This study aims to demonstrate with a real case the potential for optimizing the was…
Common-Reflection-Surface Stack with Global Simultaneous Multi-Parameter Velocity Analysis—A Fit for Shallow Seismics Open
In many regions, particularly coastal areas, population growth, overuse of water, and climate change have put quality and availability of water under threat. While accurate, predictive groundwater flow models are essential for effective wa…
Non-Invasive Survey Techniques to Study Nuragic Archaeological Sites: The Nanni Arrù Case Study (Sardinia, Italy) Open
The Italian territory of Sardinia Island has an enormous cultural and identity heritage from the Pre-Nuragic and Nuragic periods, with archaeological evidence of more than 7000 sites. However, many other undiscovered remnants of these anci…
Characterization of Dismissed Landfills via Geophysical Techniques Open
In the context of waste landfill management, geophysical methods are a powerful tool for evaluating their impact on public health and environment. Noninvasive and cost-effective geophysical techniques rapidly investigate large areas with n…
Forward Electromagnetic Induction Modelling in a Multilayered Half-Space: An Open-Source Software Tool Open
Electromagnetic induction (EMI) techniques are widely used in geophysical surveying. Their success is mainly due to their easy and fast data acquisition, but the effectiveness of data inversion is strongly influenced by the quality of sens…

Application of Resistivity and Seismic Refraction Tomography for Landslide Stability Assessment in Vallcebre, Spanish Pyrenees Open
Geophysical surveys are a noninvasive reliable tool to improve geological models without requiring extensive in situ borehole campaigns. The usage of seismic refraction tomography (SRT), electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and borehole…
Geophysical Study of the Diendorf-Boskovice Fault System (Austria) Open
We describe here the results of the characterization of subsurface structures in an area of the south-eastern edge of the Bohemian Massif, in Austria by high-resolution geophysical survey techniques and advanced analysis methods of potenti…

Comparative study of saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers: application to the aquifer of Oued Laou (Morocco) Open
Groundwater is a fundamental and strategic resource for water supply of coastal areas, especially in the Mediterranean basin where the irregularity of precipitation, both seasonally and year-on-year, put at risk the availability of surface…
Frequency-Domain Electromagnetic Mapping of an Abandoned Waste Disposal Site: A Case in Sardinia (Italy) Open
For decades, bad practices in municipal and industrial waste management have had negative environmental impacts, generating high health risks for people and the environment. The use of badly designed, not engineered, and not well-operated …
FDEM and ERT measurements for archaeological prospections at Nuraghe S'Urachi (West‐Central Sardinia) Open
Nuraghe S'Urachi is a monumental architectural complex in West Central Sardinia that was probably first built in the Bronze Age and remained occupied continuously into the early Roman Imperial period. It has been the object of systematic a…
A field-scale remediation of residual light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL): chemical enhancers for pump and treat Open
The remediation of petroleum-contaminated soil and groundwater is a challenging task. The petroleum hydrocarbons have a long persistence in both the vadose zone and in the aquifer and potentially represent secondary and residual sources of…
Remote Sensing, Archaeological, and Geophysical Data to Study the Terramare Settlements: The Case Study of Fondo Paviani (Northern Italy) Open
During the Middle and Recent Bronze Age, the Po Plain and, more broadly Northern Italy were populated by the so-called “Terramare”, embanked settlements, surrounded by a moat. The buried remains of these archaeological settlements are char…
A MATLAB package for EMI data inversion Open
Electromagnetic induction surveys are among the most popular techniques for non-destructive investigation of soil properties in order to detect the presence of either ground inhomogeneities or of particular substances. This work introduces…

Calibrating electromagnetic induction conductivities with time-domain reflectometry measurements Open
This paper deals with the issue of monitoring the spatial distribution of bulk electrical conductivity, σb, in the soil root zone by using electromagnetic induction (EMI) sensors under different water and salinity conditions. To deduce the…
Geophysical investigations unravel the vestiges of ancient meandering channels and their dynamics in tidal landscapes Open
Whether or not one can detect relict signatures of the past imprinted in current landscapes is a question of the utmost theoretical and practical relevance for meandering tidal channels, owing to their influence on the morphodynamic evolut…

Electromagnetic induction surveys are among the most popular techniques for non-destructive investigation of soil properties in order to detect the presence of either ground inhomogeneities or of particular substances.In this paper we deve…
Calibrating electromagnetic induction conductivities with time-domain reflectometry measurements Open
This paper deals with the issue of monitoring the horizontal and vertical distribution of bulk electrical conductivity, σb, in the soil root zone by using Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) sensors under different water and salinity condition…
Flow dynamics in hyper-saline aquifers: hydro-geophysical monitoring and modeling Open
Saline–freshwater interaction in porous media is a phenomenon of practical interest particularly for the management of water resources in arid and semi-arid environments, where precious freshwater resources are threatened by seawater intru…
Data And Results For Manuscript "Flow Dynamics In Hyper-Saline Aquifers: Hydro-Geophysical Monitoring And Modeling" Open
The paper presents a general methodology that will help understand how freshwater and saltwater may interact in natural porous media, with a particular view at practical applications such as the storage of freshwater underground in critica…
