Paul Bauman discusses the use of geophysics to improve groundwater development in (semi)arid and underserviced regions in Sub-Saharan Africa. He trains communities and applies these approaches to increase access to water resources in refugee camps and villages.

Applying Geophysics to Explore and Develop Groundwater in Sub-Saharan Africa

The Water Resources Podcast is designed to conduct interviews with experts to discuss challenges with water resources related to climate, such as droughts and floods, and overexploitation by humans. Potential solutions to these challenges are also discussed. Regions covered range from local to global scale, and approaches considered include satellite and ground-based monitoring, and global to regional modeling. The podcast is hosted by Bridget Scanlon, Bureau of Economic Geology, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin.

The Water Resources Podcast is a production of the Bureau of Economic Geology, The Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin in partnership with the National Academy of Engineering. The podcast is supported by the Fisher Foundation.
