Geophysics Field Testing Methods, Data Reduction, and Interpretation of Results

Because of the increased use of Geophysics on SCDOT projects, SCDOT created the training provided below as an introduction to the field testing methods, data reduction and interpretation of the results. This course is not intended to be an in-depth study of these methods nor teach the user how to perform the tests.
Eleven PDHs are available upon completion of all training modules. Please contact Christy Carter at CarterAC@scdot.org for a PDH certificate.
