A Technology Transfer Program for Facilitating Effective use of Geophysics for Environmental Characterization and Monitoring at DoD Sites
The objectives of this program are to:
[1] Broaden the effective deployment of geophysical technologies to achieve DoD’s
environmental performance goals, and reduce costs and timelines to resolve environmental issues at
DoD sites resulting from novel technology transfer (T2) on geophysical technologies.
environmental performance goals, and reduce costs and timelines to resolve environmental issues at
DoD sites resulting from novel technology transfer (T2) on geophysical technologies.
[2]Develop effective T2 activities that overcome the limitations of standard ESTCP
documents (reports, protocols and guidance documents) and are more applicable for transferring the
key information needed on geophysical technology performance by managers and decision makers
involved in stewardship of DoD sites.
