The Workshop
Geoelectrical monitoring has significantly developed
over the recent years as an emerging branch in applied geophysics. As the big success of the “1st Workshop on Geoelectrical Monitoring”, held 2011 in Vienna, proved, geoelectrical monitoring is one of the mostinnovative emerging branches in the area of appliedgeophysics within recent years. It is now applied tosolve problems in key areas of public and politicalinterest, such as natural hazard mitigation, agricultureoptimization, CO2 storage and groundwater exploration. To foster scientific discussion and to support
cooperations among the scientific groups, the Geological Survey of Austria (GSA) invites to the“Second International Workshop on
Geoelectrical Monitoring”,
which will be held in Vienna from 4 – 6 Decem-ber 2013.

The scope of this workshop is not only focused on thepresentation of state-of-the-art results but significant
time will also be reserved for the discussion of special
topics of data acquisition, processing, inversion andinterpretation.
Presentations on all related aspects of geoelectrical monitoring are encouraged, covering theoreticaldevelopments, measurements and instrumentation,and case histories. Specialists in the field of geoelectrics and related scientific disciplines are invited tosubmit abstracts for oral or poster presentation
specifically focused on the topic of geoelectric monitoring.
Additionally, discussion groups including short “rapidfire” presentations around focused topics will be held.
We encourage all participants to contribute with sucha 5 minutes presentation to the following topics:• Handling electrode movements in geoelectric monitoring• Temperature correction of geoelectric monitoring data
• Time stability of different electrode material• Handling of large 4D data set• Quality assessment of monitoring data

The program committee will review the submitted
abstracts and compile the final workshop program.
It is planned to publish the extended abstracts of theconference in the “Berichte der Geologischen
Bundesanstalt” series after the meeting.
On December 3rd a Special Course on Geoelectrical
Monitoring – 4D Data Inversion and Monitoring
Instrumentation (J.-H. Kim, R. Supper) will be held
(min. number of participants: 10, max. number ofparticipants: 20).
