LIAG seminar: Semi-Airborne Electromagnetic Imaging of Deep Aquifers – Insights from the First SeeKaquA Measurement Campaign

LIAG welcomes all interested parties to its biweekly LIAG seminar, featuring exciting presentations on research and technology, held on Tuesdays at 11:00 a.m. at the Geozentrum Hannover or online via Webex. The presentations, with a duration of roughly 30 minutes, are followed by a discussion and are held in either German or English, depending on the announcement. The entire programme is published by LIAG.

On Tuesday, 20 January 2026, Wiebke Mörbe will give a presentation in English on the topic: 

Semi-Airborne Electromagnetic Imaging of Deep Aquifers in the Cuvelai-Etosha Basin, Namibia – Insights from the First SeeKaquA Measurement Campaign

Abstract: Arid regions, which currently depend on surface water resources, experience severe challenges in supplying clean water due to growing demands and climate change. The SeeKaquA project explores two deep aquifer systems in Southern Africa to make ground-water resources accessible for sustainable water management. Here, we present first results from an UAV-based semi-airborne electromagnetic (SAEM) survey we conducted in the Cuvelai Etosha Basin (CEB) in Namibia to investigate the extend and salinity of the deep fresh water aquifer KOH-II.
