My research activities/interests have ranged from Aeromagnetic surveying and Induced Polarization applied to mineral exploration problems in the SW;  geophysical prospecting in equatorial Brazil;  well logging in water supply / monitor wells in Brazil and Michigan;  resistivity and S.P. prospecting for potable ground water in the Amazon delta;  the first underground I.P. surveying (Homestake Gold Mine);  GPR for structural mapping in tropical Brazil;  GPR for archaeology in Brazil, Mexico, and Michigan;  development of the first underwater GPR antenna and subsequent use for sand thickness mapping in L. Michigan and UXO detection in L. Erie; development of the conductive model for LNAPL contaminant plumes;  use of azimuthal resistivity to characterize primary depositional fabrics of clastic sediments;   and application of multiple methods for near-surface investigations of environmental sites.
