Geophysical Survey Systems Inc. (GSSI), a manufacturer of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) equipment, will host a three-day advanced GPR interpretation course at its new training facility in Nashua, New Hampshire.

The course will be held Oct. 23-25 and will be led by GPR expert Dr. Larry B. Conyers, professor of anthropology at the University of Denver, along with GSSI training professionals.

Users will learn about techniques and best practices for GPR data interpretation, troubleshooting data quality issues in the field, and post-processing. Attendees will also receive an overview of GPR theory and data processing using RADAN software.

Ideal for those interpreting GPR data in archaeology, environmental sciences, geology, structural engineering, and utility locating, the course is tailored for users with at least one year of GPR field experience.

Training will take place in GSSI’s training and test facility, which includes an extensive indoor test area, with a large underground pit that emulates subsurface utilities and geophysical features. The hands-on course will include case studies from a variety of applications and plenty of time to review individual participants’ data challenges.

Dr. Conyers has written six books on ground-penetrating radar for archaeology, along with several journal articles and book chapters covering theory, method, data interpretation and analysis, with many examples from sites all over the world. Dr. Conyers has worked on archaeological ground-penetrating radar projects in Central and South America, Asia, Europe, Hawaii and many areas of the continental United States.
