Unit 1: Locating Buried Objects Using Gravity part of Locating Subsurface Features using Gravity and Magnetics
This in-class/lab/homework activity introduces students to the idea that the gravitational acceleration g varies across the surface of the earth and is sensitive to buried features. Students are asked to ...

Unit 3: Case Studies, Field Data Collection, and Limitations of GPR part of Forensic Geophysics Using Ground Penetrating Radar
This unit considers some ways to distinguish objects from each other while emphasizing the possibility of misinterpreting data. GPR imaging can be an excellent tool for detecting buried objects. However, as with ...

Unit 2: What Does GPR Data Look Like? part of Forensic Geophysics Using Ground Penetrating Radar
GPR imaging is more complex than is portrayed in the media. This unit describes what the GPR response for a buried object looks like. This is a distorted image of the object itself. Nevertheless, the response we do ...

Unit 1: What Is Ground-Penetrating Radar? part of Forensic Geophysics Using Ground Penetrating Radar
This unit introduces the concepts behind ground-penetrating radar (GPR) through a comparison to medical imaging, building on what students may already know or be familiar with. The concepts are then extended to ...
