Lithogen Presents: GPR Principles and Practice Short Course

Lithogen Inc. presents GPR Principles and Practice, a course developed by Sensors and Software. This two day short course will teach attendees the fundamentals of GPR theory (applicable to all GPR instruments), and provide hands-on time with a variety of GPRs using Lithogen's fleet of GPRs. The course is designed for individuals who are technically competent in fields such as: geosciences, soil sciences, civil engineering, or archeology. A certificate will be provided after the course so that professionals can apply this towards continuing professional development hours.
