  SEG Online Workshop: Improving Understanding and Treatment of Uncertainty in Groundwater Science and Management

  Scheduled for February 11, 18, and 25, 2025. The workshop, hosted by SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysicists), will feature three 5-hour sessions, with a focus on modeling, parameterization, and practical applications of uncertainty in hydrogeology and hydrogeophysics.
  
  This workshop will raise global awareness of understanding, quantifying, managing, and communicating uncertainty in groundwater studies and identify research imperatives and best practices that industry practitioners and researchers can adopt.
  
  Hydrogeologists and hydrogeophysicists aim at characterizing the subsurface regarding its hydrogeological and geophysical properties and geometries. We see potential for inter-disciplinary learning by recognizing the relationship between hydrogeological and hydrogeophysical properties, conceptual approaches, analytical solutions, algorithms, and assumptions involved in modelling the subsurface in both disciplines.
  
  Groundwater consulting practice has to cater to the clients’ need for certainty and too often resorts to deterministic solutions. Uncertainties arising from the estimation of either hydrogeologic or hydrogeophysical properties are often not fully understood and rarely systematically accounted for. Yet, a realistic and transparent estimate of uncertainty is crucial to build trust in model outcomes and inform the client’s groundwater-based planning. Therefore, improving our understanding of this uncertainty is a pressing issue attracting increased interest by all stakeholders. With this workshop, we aim to identify practical approaches for a more complete treatment of uncertainty in groundwater science and management.
