515 Ground-Penetrating Radar—Principles, Practice, and Processing
This virtual course covers a bit of everything about ground-penetrating radar (GPR). The agenda includes basic GPR theory, instrumentation, and survey design. We discuss proper data collection techniques of Line Scans and Grids Scans and discuss the value of collecting GPR data with an integrated GPS. Students will then use the EKKO_Project software and sample GPR data to practice plotting cross sections, 2D depth slices and plotting on Google Earth. During the software session, we will discuss the principles of interpreting GPR data and how to present GPR data effectively in scientific papers and reports. Case studies are presented to expose students to data from other application areas. Prior to the course, the instructor will send all attendees sample GPR data and the installation for the PC-based EKKO_Project GPR data analysis software (Windows OS only). It is not a requirement for students to install the EKKO_Project software; they can simply follow along as the instructor works with the software and data, however, using the software to analyze the GPR data does add to the course experience.
