Towards drone-based magnetometer measurements for archaeological prospection in challenging terrain

Drone Systems and Applications
While airborne magnetometry has been used for geological surveys for decades, magnetic surveys for archaeological prospection are almost exclusively ground-based, as the detection of archaeological features requires higher spatial resolution and close ...

Mapping a Subsurface Water Channel with X-Band and C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar at the Iron Age Archaeological Site of ‘Uqdat al-Bakrah (Safah), Oman

Geosciences, 2018
Subsurface imaging in arid regions is a well-known application of satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Archaeological prospection has often focused on L-band SAR sensors, given the ability of longer wavelengths to penetrate more deeply into sand. In
