The GPR sender
is typically moved
across the ground
in a straight line.
When the pulses
strike something
below the surface,
they bounce back to
the device, and are
detected by antennae. Differences in
the reflected pulses from underground,
as well as the time it takes for pulses to
return to the device, and their angle of
reflection, can help to identify features
below the surface.
Magnetometry also uses a device is
be moved across the surface of the area
4
of interest. Magnetometry,
through
the measurement
and mapping of
magnetic anomalies,
or variations in
the magnetic fields
of materials below
the surface, can
reveal walls, buildings, and streets that
still lie buried. These differences in soil,
sub-soil, and bedrock can show where
there might have been ditches, walls, or
other features.
