In-person practical training workshop: Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data processing
14:30-18:00 - T. Wunderlich (Kiel University).
This (in-person) training workshop will demonstrate and teach the use of MultichannelGPR – A New MATLAB-Tool for the Processing of GPR Data.
Further info on the software in this publication. The code can be downloaded from GitHub here
Basic knowledge of GPR data processing is advised.
While a Matlab installation is required on your personal computer (free trial here), no Matlab programming knowledge is necessary for this workshop.
Please note that registration is for this in-person training session on a first-registered, first-served basis, as spaces are limited to 25.
We encourage prompt registration to secure your spot.
For those attending the workshop in person but unable to secure a spot in the training session, there will be an opportunity for a guided site visit (no registration required).
