An Introduction to Electromagnetic Methods and the Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio technique
Thursday July 23, 2026 8:00am - 8:50am CDT
This talk is a hands on introduction to three geophysical methods, time-domain and frequency-domain electromagnetic (TDEM and FDEM) methods, along with the horizontal to vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method that are increasingly useful for groundwater investigations. We focus on how these methods work, what they measure, how they’re deployed in the field, and the subsurface information they provide. Case studies highlight how electromagnetic methods can map subsurface conductivity and characterize aquifers, and how the HVSR passive seismic technique helps estimate sediment thickness overlying bedrock, an important input for groundwater modeling.

Organized to Succeed: Tools, Trucks, and Shop Setups for Hydrotechs (Open Form)
Thursday July 23, 2026 10:00am - 10:50am CDT
This session highlights practical ways hydrotechs organize tools, trucks, and shop spaces to work safer, faster, and more efficiently. It’s a collaborative, audience‑driven discussion where attendees share setups, tips, and lessons learned. The open format encourages questions, problem‑solving, and idea‑sharing—so if you’ve got a challenge you’re facing, bring it and let’s talk it through or even better bring send your photo examples!
