Guidance for Geophysical Surveys of Unmarked Graves

The application of geophysics to the search for unmarked graves is well established in for some methods, such as the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) in formal cemeteries. The use of other methods or of GPR in other contexts, such as landscapes of Indian Residential School (IRS) institutions, shows considerable utility, though refinements are ongoing.

In this section, are developing guidance for a range of methods. It is under construction with our initial focus on the best practices for GPR.
