Surface Geophysical Methods

We now have a work plan that is based upon regional and local existing data and possibly some site-specific data. A conceptual model has been developed and focuses our attention on what we know, what we need to know and what we might expect on site. As we begin to acquire on-site data using surface geophysical methods, we will begin to test the conceptual model. Their primary benefit is that of greatly increasing the data density over the site, which improves the definition of background and anomalous conditions. These measurements allow us to more accurately locate invasive measurements based upon data rather than guesses thereby improving the chances of accurately defining geologic conditions.
