Near-Surface Geophysics Reception and Award Ceremony

AGU via YouTube

Overview

Attend the Near-Surface Geophysics Reception and Award Ceremony, a 52-minute event hosted by AGU. Witness the presentation of the Edward A. Flinn III Award and explore cutting-edge research on landslide processes at the Hollin Hill Landslide Observatory. Discover geophysical characterization techniques, long-term geoelectrical monitoring methods, and innovative approaches to slope stability assessment. Learn about distributed sensor networks, machine learning applications for predicting critical parameters, and the integration of multiple methods for landslide hazard assessment. Gain insights into Berkeley Lab's unique playground for developing sensing technology and the use of low-cost, low-powered distributed sensor networks for adaptive, long-term monitoring. Explore the potential of combining various techniques to achieve a predictive understanding of landslide behavior and the importance of network architecture and data visualization using open-source packages.
