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
Volcanological areas present a unique challenge for geophysical exploration due to their highly heterogeneous subsurface structures, complex fluid-rock interactions, and dynamic temporal evolution. Traditional seismic inversion techniques often struggle to resolve the intricate nature of these environments. However, advances in both passive and active seismic data inversion— along with joint inversion methodologies incorporating other geophysical techniques—offer new insights into subsurface imaging in these complex settings.
This workshop will focus on the latest methodologies for geophysical inversion in volcanological areas, emphasizing both active source and ambient noise (passive) seismic data. Additionally, we will explore joint inversion approaches that integrate seismic, gravity, electromagnetic, and other geophysical datasets to enhance our understanding of volcanic systems.
Key Topics
• Seismic inversion in volcanic environments: Challenges and advancements in active and passive seismic techniques.
• Joint inversion strategies: Combining seismic with other geophysical methods (e.g., gravity, magnetotellurics, electrical resistivity) for improved imaging.
• Fractal density and subsurface complexity: Volcanic structures often exhibit self- similar, scale dependent heterogeneity, akin to fractal geometry. How can inversion techniques account for and leverage this fractal nature?
• Case studies from the Phlegraean Fields and other active volcanic regions: Applications of modern inversion techniques to improve subsurface characterization.
• Future directions in geophysical exploration of volcanological areas: New technologies and methodological approaches.
• Public Communication & Risk Perception: Build effective plans to engage local communities to ensure acceptance of geophysical studies; lessons from past.
Participant Profile
This workshop will bring together researchers and industry professionals to discuss cutting- edge developments in geophysical exploration and inversion techniques tailored to the complexities of volcanic settings.

Overview
Applied geophysics has become an important resource for archaeological research, achieving a prominent role in near-surface investigations over the past two decades. This position is set to strengthen further with the rapid advancement of high-tech instrumentation and algorithms. These developments have moved geophysics beyond mere anomaly-bump hunting, enabling detailed 3D characterization of archaeological sites and allowing geophysicists to play a leading role together with archaeologists.
This workshop aims to bring together the international geophysical research community to explore the latest technical and methodological advancements in data analysis, processing, and interpretation. Topics will include archaeogeophysical remote sensing, signal enhancement, 3D imaging, joint investigations, and interdisciplinary synergies between geophysics, petrochemistry, and soil science. By refining these approaches, the workshop seeks to highlight their added value in the rediscovery and preservation of cultural heritage.

Overview
Airborne Geophysics is a fast-growing, discipline expanding the range of possible solutions to geophysical data acquisition. Drones, but also the more classical helicopters and fixed wing planes, they all are currently very busy acquiring data around the world, at different scales, for different applications.
This workshop focuses on all main geophysical techniques. We will look into advances in data acquisition, integration, processing and modelling. A part of the workshop will be highly interactive, with a live demo on AEM data processing and modelling, using open source software.
The field of applications includes geologic mapping, environmental geophysics, hydrogeophysics, mining and resource exploration, health and safety, and international security.
The participants will gain a complete overview of different airborne geophysical applications and insights into new developments, trends, and open problems.

Transient electromagnetic is one of the few geophysical methods which has taken a leapfrog development in the last decay.
Workshop description
This is a one-day workshop on the transient electromagnetic method (TEM) for mapping of the shallow geology, overview of theory and applications
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
Draft schedule
10:00-13:00 On the first half of the workshop, convenors will present a compact introduction into rock and mineral physics, laboratory testing and further use of the data for those less familiar with the subject.
13:00-14:00 Lunch break
14:00-17:00 On the second half of the workshop, select participants will present their latest research and case studies. Adequate time will be reserved for discussion.
