The construction industry research and information association (CIRIA) is a neutral, independent body in the UK set up to provide guidance and knowledge sharing for the construction industry. Based on the CIRIA research proposal (RP) 1146, the lead contractors RSK alongside a project steering group have been working on updating the C562 standard, published in 2002, to demonstrate good practice on the use of geophysics in ground investigations to be finalised in 2023. This workshop could be used to present the new standards for geophysical support of ground investigations.

Overview
Digital Outcrop Models (DOMs) are precise three-dimensional digital representations of rock outcrops created from images captured by ground-based or drone-mounted sensors. These georeferenced models enable digital interpretations and integration with other geospatial data for applications such as outcrop analogue studies and virtual geological field trips.
The morning session of the workshop will cover topics such as data acquisition, processing techniques, visualisation strategies, digital interpretation, data integration, and case studies. The afternoon session will feature a hands-on course on digital outcrop modelling.

Workshop Description
This is a one-day workshop on the Transient Electromagnetic Method (TEM) for mapping shallow geology, providing an overview of theory and applications.
Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) is not a new geophysical method, but it has not gained as much attention as other methods like imaging with multielectrode systems or small loop frequency domain electromagnetic methods. This lack of popularity is likely due to the complexity and high cost of both the instruments and the interpretation software. However, with advancements in technology over the last decade, these issues have become things of the past. The method is now faster, easier to use, and the cost of instruments has dramatically decreased. In this course, we will explain how the method works, how measurements are carried out, and how they are interpreted. We will focus on imaging deep groundwater layers and addressing shallow monitoring issues.
The workshop includes:
| PRELIMINARY SCHEDULE | |

Transient electromagnetic is one of the few geophysical methods which has taken a leapfrog development in the last decay.

Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) is not a new geophysical method but it has not really gained as much attention as other methods like imagining with multielectrode systems or ground conductivity meters. The reason is probably that both the instruments and the interpretation software has been hard to use and very expensive. With all the new technology which has reached the world in the last decay this is the past and the method is now fast, easy to use, and instruments has dropped dramatically in price. In this course we will explain how the method works, how measurements are carried out and how they are interpretated. We will focus on imagining of deep laying groundwater and shallow monitoring problems.
The workshop contains the follow blocks:
Participant profile
This workshop is designed for a diverse group of participants who are interested in learning about the Transient Electromagnetic (TEM) method for various applications. Ideal participants include:
Professionals in Geology and Engineering: Those looking to utilize TEM for geological mapping, groundwater mapping, and engineering applications.
Researchers in near surface Geophysics: Individuals working in near-surface geophysics who are eager to expand their geophysical toolkit with TEM.
Students: Those keen to gain a comprehensive understanding of the TEM method, whether for academic purposes or future career use.
General Practitioners: Any participants who could benefit from incorporating the Transient Electromagnetic method into their professional practices for near sub-surface mapping.
This workshop is suited for both beginners and those with some experience, providing valuable insights in the latest TEM technology.

Workshop description
To fully understand and properly calibrate geophysical models, information on the physical properties of the rock mass is essential. Traditionally, literature and research on the topic has been quite heavily biased towards soft sedimentary environments. We propose a workshop on research and applications of rock and mineral physics in hard rock environments, specifically in the context of mineral exploration, mining and rock construction. Topics covered could include, e.g., laboratory testing of the physical properties of rocks and minerals, in situ physical property measurements, and application of physical property data to the development, calibration and interpretation of geophysical data and physical property models.
Participant profile
This one day “hands-on” short course goes through the practicalities of building a 3D conceptual model from scratch using AEM data together with other geoscientific data types by combining cross-sections, GIS maps and 3D visualization in the interpretation process. The focus is how to get the most out of your AEM data. In addition to the traditional manual modeling techniques, we will introduce and go through examples on how to utilize Machine Learning tools in the modeling process – including clustering algorithms and the Smart Interpretation method. We will also work with statistical methods and tools to evaluate and quality check the interpreted model with respect to the available data.
The course will be a combination of short lectures and exercises, and at the end of the day the participants will have touched base with the main principles behind building a 3D hydrostratigraphic conceptual model.
For the exercises in the course we will use the GeoScene3D software package – To be able to carry out the exercises, the course participants will get free access to the software during the course. The participants are required to bring their own laptops with a reasonable graphics card, see more on https://www.geoscene3d.com.
The course material will be made available to the course participants prior to the course.
