Course Outline

Part 1:

1. Data wrangling
– Gap interpolation, outlier detection, detrending, and temporal differencing of measured data

2. Correcting groundwater data for atmospheric and Earth tide influences
– Removing the effects of atmospheric and Earth tide influences, as performed previously by software such as BETCO

3. Assessing the time lag-dependence of groundwater responses to atmospheric influences
– Characterising and quantifying groundwater responses to atmospheric influences using regression deconvolution

Part 2:

1. Traditional methods of interpreting groundwater responses to Earth tide influences
– Identifying and quantifying Earth tide influences using Fourier analysis
– Interpreting aquifer confinement status from Earth tide influences

2. Traditional methods of interpreting groundwater responses to atmospheric influences
– Quantifying and comparing responses using a range of traditional methods
– Estimating barometric efficiency and aquifer specific storage values from measured responses

Part 3:

1. Advanced methods of quantifying the groundwater responses to tidal forces
– Identifying and quantifying tidal influences using harmonic least-squares

2. Advanced methods of interpreting the groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides
– Analysing harmonic components and disentangling their drivers

3. Quantifying subsurface properties using the groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides
– Estimating hydraulic conductivity, specific storage and barometric efficiency

You will gain insights into HydroGeoSines (HGS) other features, including:

• How to automate pre-processing tasks, including resampling measurements to a consistent time step, and using interpolation methods for gap filling;
• How to remove the effects of barometric pressure and Earth tides, as performed previously by software such as BETCO;
• How to use a range of methods to identify aquifer confinement types from groundwater responses to Earth tides;
• How to use a range of methods to estimate the specific storage of confined aquifers from groundwater responses to Earth and atmospheric tides; and,
• How to estimate aquifer hydraulic conductivity from groundwater responses to Earth tides.
