Locating Subsurface Features for Archaeological or Forensic Investigations

Archaeologists and remote sensing specialists around the world routinely rely on GSSI ground penetrating radar and EM conductivity instruments as a key tool for non-invasive site investigation. Whether the goal is site mapping for excavation planning or locating sensitive cultural resources for preservation or avoidance, GSSI remote sensing technologies have been the tools of choice for over 35 years.

Ground penetrating radar is a key tool for law enforcement and crime scene investigators for locating clandestine burials and hidden objects. GPR has been instrumental in locating victims, hidden caches of weapons or evidence, and even helping to locate the remains of soldiers and civilians killed in war zones.
