During in his Ph.D. research through to the present he has utilized ground penetrating radar (GPR) at more than 1200 sites in North America, Europe, Israel, New Zealand and Australia. He has a broad background in many fields of the earth sciences: particularly geomorphology, sedimentology and more recently in geoarchaeology. Much of his research is collaborative in nature with other researchers from federal to state agencies, private industry to academic research institutes. He looks forward to collaborative research and continuing his GPR research program.
