This workshop replaces the planned face-to-face event that was due to take place 6-7 April 2020 at Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK, and had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. 84% of attendees (that voted in the poll) said they would be willing to pay a small registration fee to attend such events.ģ-day online workshop on GPR modelling with gprMax 2Ī free 3-day online workshop will take place on 29-31 July 2020.99% of attendees (that voted in the poll) would like to see further dedicated workshop/training events on specific aspects or applications of GPR modelling.97% of attendees (that voted in the poll) would like to see this workshop become an annual event.Level of familiarity with gprMax was mixed but with most attendees either only having discovered it for the first time, or having run some basic models.Most attendees use (or plan to use) gprMax for solving GPR related problems.There were ~170 unique viewers per day from ~44 different countries worldwide.
~330 delegates registered for the event.The paper is available, open access, at: Some of the recent advanced features in gprMax, such as fractal-based roughness for realistic topographic modelling, have been utilised. The research team describe the use of gprMax to carry out numerical modelling to assess GPR imaging potential at the landing site. “Data provided by RIMFAX will aid Perseverance’s mission to explore the ancient habitability of its field area and to select a set of promising geologic samples for analysis, caching, and eventual return to Earth.” The paper describes RIMFAX, part of the payload for NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover, which has been designed to image the subsurface structure of Mars, and to provide information regarding subsurface composition.
