Assateague Island Results

Laura Sherrod - 2016

Geophysical investigations were performed to provide subsurface images using 400MHz, 270MHz, and 200MHz antennas with a GSSI SIR 3000 GPR control unit.  Survey lines on Assateague Island showed numerous textural features and potential channel forms.  The 200MHz antenna provided the most clear image of the subsurface at this site.  Channel forms, truncation of bedding, crossbed structures and other textural features were visible in the GPR profiles
