Forensics & Archaeology

GPR’s unique ability to sense buried artifacts and soil disturbances makes GPR a powerful tool for police forensic investigations as well as archeological site evaluations. Applications are wide ranging. Police regularly use GPR to uncover buried caches of drugs, money, and weapons as well as locate unmarked graves. Archeologists routinely look for localized artifacts as well as mapping large historical sites covering hectares to define road and building locations with no need for costly and intrusive excavation.

Forensics 

Police regularly use GPR to uncover buried caches of drugs, money, weapons as well as locate unmarked graves. GPR's versatility and sensitivity to buried objects has lead to an ever widening use in forensics. While GPR does not deliver the fantasy results portrayed on some TV shows, GPR can provide powerful insight to forensics specialists needing to conduct detailed subsurface site investigations.

Archaeology 

As with forensics, GPR's ability to detect subtle changes in soils as well as generate substantive responses from buried structures and features have made GPR a non-intrusive investigation method of growing interest to archeologists.  More and more reports of blanketing dig sites with GPR are appearing.
