Topic: The Application of Geophysical Methods and Remote Sensing for Environmental Site Characterization Studies
This presentation will discuss how geophysical methods are used to map the shallow sub-surface and, thus be a very cost-effective tool for Environmental Site Assessments. Some of the advantages of geophysical methods as a part of a site investigation include the relatively low cost, non-intrusiveness, and collection of real-time data. Methods include Electromagnetics (EM), Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), Magnetics, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and downhole borehole logging.
Speaker Bio
Mr. Anil Sharma is the Founder of AKS Geoscience Inc. Anil has provided geophysical consulting services to a wide variety of industries and government branches for over 30 years. He specializes in the application of geophysical methods for complex environmental and geotechnical problems. Anil has conducted and managed over 6000 geophysical investigations. Applications have included plume delineation, buried metal detection, geological mapping, and mineral exploration. He has been involved in international projects, including many in developing countries.
Anil is well versed in the methods involved with near surface geophysics. These include: Electromagnetics, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), ground penetrating radar (GPR), seismic refraction, wireline logging, and magnetics. Considerable experience has also been gained in various related disciplines, i.e., hydrogeology, geochemistry, soil sciences, environmental auditing and liability assessments, geographical information systems (GIS), groundwater and soil sampling.
In his current role, Anil manages the geophysics group At AKS. He directs the technical and professional staff in the conduct of geophysical investigations.
