SEOGI KANG
Dr. Kang completed his PhD in Geophysics at University of British Columbia, Canada, in 2018. His thesis work focused on electromagnetic imaging and its application to mining problems. Currently, he is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Geophysics Department at Stanford. His research focus is on maximizing the value of sensor data for advancing groundwater science and management. He is a co-creator of an open-source geophysical software, SimPEG.

Recharging ground aquifers is an urgent task for improving groundwater sustainability in California. Geophysical data can provide a capability to image the subsurface where the major data gap lies. However, neither data nor analytic tools required to derive subsurface information is readily accessible. We present an interactive web application that utilizes a public database, GIS capabilities and directly integrates Jupyter Notebooks and Python packages from researchers to guide recharge site location. Our demonstration showcases how this technology can contribute to improving groundwater recharge in California and how integrating the research knowledge directly into a web application can increase the impact.
