abstract = {Geophysical methods are increasingly being used in
hydrogeological studies, allowing to characterize the
structure and the heterogeneity of the subsurface in a
noninvasive way. Transport processes could be monitored
using these methods when the tracer changes the geophysical
properties of the aquifer (e.g. electrical conductivity,
permittivity) and when these changes can be resolved in
space and time. Ground penetration radar (GPR) measurements
processed by the full-waveform inversion (FWI) method allow
mapping the subsurface with a decimeter scale resolution.
Time-lapse GPR imaging of saline tracer in fractured rock
demonstrated the potential to monitor transport processes
(e.g. Shakas et al., 2016). In the current research, a
time-lapse GPR imaging of a saline tracer test is planned in
an alluvial aquifer, to test the potential of GPR to detect
transport processes.The experiment will be performed in a
sand-gravel aquifer at the Krauthausen test site, nearby
Jülich where we will inject a saline tracer into the
aquifer through a borehole and transported by natural
groundwater flow. Time-lapse GPR data will be acquired in a
crosshole setup to monitor the tracer distribution. To
optimize the imaging and detection of the tracer plume, a
numerical test simulating the field experiment in a
hydrogeological model of the aquifer was applied using a
flow and transport model and a GPR wave propagation forward
model. The numerical experiment simulates the plume spread
in time and space, and the signals that are measured with
GPR. An appraisal of the spatial resolution of the tracer
distribution that can be obtained with GPR is derived from a
comparison between the simulated tracer distributions and
the tracer distributions obtained after a full waveform
inversion of the GPR signals. Preliminary results of the
transport simulation show a narrow plume with high salinity
gradients at the decimeter scale, which performs the
importance of the prediction for optimizing geophysical
imaging and interpretation. At the next steps of the
simulation, GPR forward modeling followed by FWI will be
applied while adjusting the tracer concentrations, radar
frequencies, and crosshole locations to optimize imaging of
the field experiment.},
