Other ID: none

Status: Completed

Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center

Funding Program(s):

Principal Investigator(s): Christopher Smith

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Arnell Forde, Christopher Reich

Data Type(s): Electro-Magnetic: Ground Penetrating Radar, Location-Elevation: Navigation

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Test various GPR system settings to determine those most applicable, at a minimum, for a sandy environment. Re-run lines collected during March 05, 2012 survey and compare results.

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Ft. De Soto, FL

End Port/Location: Ft. De Soto, FL

Start Date: 2012-10-10

End Date: 2012-10-10

Equipment Used: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), GPS

Information to be Derived: Subsurface features (if present); most applicable settings to use in varying environments (from marsh to barrier island) in order to acquire highest resolution, multiple depths of penetration and best looking data.

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Various parameters tested over multiple environments. A total of 12 lines were collected in RADAN (.dzt) proprietary format (files will be converted to non-proprietary format for archival purposes).

Staff: Arnell Forde, Christopher Reich, Christopher Smith

Affiliate Staff:

Notes: This is not an actual field activity but a test of field equipment prior to deployment and data collection; therefore, the Research Topic of TST (short for Test) was assigned.
