10 Overview
Transform to 3D, visualization and interpretation of results
Overview
Why to investigate and what can we find out about the ground?
Applications
- Measuring the depths from glaciers and snow layers
- Di-section of water bodies, measuring depth and upcoming layers
- Geology, locating and analysing soil, rock and water layers
- Investigating and mapping animal burrow systems
- Locating pipes and drilling positions
- Locating mines from wars
- Archaeology
- finding water wells
- interpreting the depths and type of rock and soil layers
