Here is your GPR homework assignment…
Find an article about GPR that is UNRELATED to your industry!
This has tremendous value for you as a practitioner. Even if you work in
-utility locating exclusively,
-or concrete scanning exclusively,
-or archaeology exclusively,
-or civil engineering exclusively,
reading material from other disciplines helps you learn the skills that you need to compete at the highest level in your discipline.
For example, if you are in concrete scanning, then reading about how GPR is used in forestry to image roots can help you locate rebar. Or, if you are in utility locating, then reading forensic investigations that record soil differences to locate graves can help you locate pipe trenches when your pipe is too deep for your ground penetrating radar to “see”.
Be the best practitioner you can. Be a professional!

I have always wanted to learn more about void detection. I wasn’t able to turn up any great articles about this topic (perhaps a good topic for a course), but I did find this nice forum thread that was somewhat useful: http://forum.detectation.com/viewtopic.php?t=1487
Thanks for this one too Brian. It’s funny you say that. You are at least the 4th person to recently ask about void detection…I might have to take up your suggestion and do a webinar or some other training videos. I’ll send you an article or two to your email.
