511 Ground Penetrating Radar: Principles, Practice and Processing
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a non-invasive subsurface exploration tool used in near-surface geology (<100 meters), geotechnical and environmental surveys, mine safety, forensics, archaeology, utility location, concrete inspection, snow depth measurements, and glaciology. This course will introduce the principles of GPR instrumentation; discuss survey design; provide hands-on data acquisition with a GPR system; and explore data interpretation (including common pitfalls), data processing, and data visualization. No prerequisites are required. Students will receive a USB stick with PDF copies of the course notes and a GPR textbook written by Dr. Peter Annan, the founder and CEO of Sensors & Software. Students need to come prepared to work for 2–3 hours outside and, if interested, bring a fully charged PC-based laptop for the data processing portion of the course. The laptop should have Google Earth installed, if possible.
