: Equipment
The Discovery Programme does not own GPR equipment and contracts Geophysical specialists to undertake this type of survey. The Tara GPR survey (1993 - 94) was undertaken using GSSI SIR8 and SIR 10A equipment, which has obviously been superceded in the intervening period. The brochure of the latest GSSI equipment, the SIR-3000 can be downloaded.
This is one of many manufacturers of geophysical equipment, others include Sensors & Software Inc. as used by Dr Paul Gibson at NUI Maynooth.
