Introduction to Remote Sensing and Ground Penetrating Radar
This page is dedicated to providing resources containing high-level information on ground penetrating radar (GPR), including how it works and its limitations as a technology. The information gathered here is intended for non-specialists such as project coordinators, Survivors, leadership, or community members. It includes videos, recorded webinars, and printable resources. More technical information and resources for specialists is provided on the Training Resources for Remote Sensing and Open-Source Software for Geophysical Data pages.
