abstract = {There is increasing interest in the use of multiple
measurement types, including indirect (geophysical) methods,
to constrain hydrologic interpretations. To date, most
examples integrating geophysical measurements in hydrology
have followed a three-step, uncoupled inverse approach. This
approach begins with independent geophysical inversion to
infer the spatial and/or temporal distribution of a
geophysical property (e. g., electrical conductivity). The
geophysical property is then converted to a hydrologic
property (e. g., water content) through a petrophysical
relation. The inferred hydrologic property is then used
either independently or together with direct hydrologic
observations to constrain a hydrologic inversion. We present
an alternative approach, coupled inversion, which relies on
direct coupling of hydrologic models and geophysical models
during inversion. We compare the abilities of coupled and
uncoupled inversion using a synthetic example where
surface-based electrical conductivity surveys are used to
monitor one dimensional infiltration and redistribution.
Through this illustrative example, we show that the coupled
approach can provide significant reductions in uncertainty
for hydrologic properties and associated predictions if the
underlying model is a faithful representation of the
hydrologic processes. However, if the hydrologic model
exhibits structural errors, the coupled inversion may not
improve the hydrologic interpretation. Despite this
limitation, our results support the use of coupled
hydrogeophysical inversion both for the direct benefits of
reduced errors during inversion and because of the secondary
benefits that accrue because of the extensive communication
and sharing of data necessary to produce a coupled model,
which will likely lead to more thoughtful use of geophysical
data in hydrologic studies.},
