Enhancing hydrogeological mapping with surface nuclear magnetic resonance

PhD defence, Monday, 21st of October 2024, Mathias Østbjerg Vang

Mathias Østbjerg Vang

During his PhD studies, Mathias Østbjerg Vang investigated how surface nuclear magnetic resonance (SNMR) can be applied in hydrogeological investigations. With a unique sensitivity to subsurface water, SNMR can identify crucial properties of aquifers non-invasively. Recent developments in SNMR have enabled high-density mapping campaigns in various hydrogeological field studies to delineate water-bearing structures.  

The research findings contribute to advancing SNMR from a single-site characterization tool to a regional mapping technique.

The PhD study was completed at Department of Geoscience, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University.
This summary was prepared by the PhD student.
