The webinar consist of two sessions. Session 1 is an overview of geophysical methods applicable to dams and levees, theory behind the methodologies, and the strengths and limitations of each method. This session will also cover what additional investigations, such as drilling, are necessary to calibrate the geophysical data in order to provide a holistic evaluation of the subsurface conditions and how these conditions can affect dam and levee safety. Session 2 will be an in-depth case study of how a particular geophysical method, MASW (Multi-Channel Assessment of Surface Waves) was used to assess subsurface conditions and potential levee safety concerns for the East Coast Protection Levee System in South Florida.
