This past summer, from July 29 to August 8, 2024, the Near Surface Geophysics Lab had the opportunity to join an ambitious field research project in Utqiagvik, Alaska. We teamed up with researchers from Penn State University, Dr. Ming Xiao and his master’s student Matt Hallissey, to investigate the rapid thawing of Arctic permafrost—an issue…
NSGL Reading Group Updates
Every Thursday, the Near Surface Geophysics Laboratory in Rood Hall holds article discussion sessions under the guidance of Dr. Dogan about different topics. This week, we read an article that has significant importance for science, history, and society. The article written by McClymont et al. “Preserving Holocaust history: Geophysical investigations at the Ponary (Paneriai) extermination…

We were at 2022 AGU Fall Meeting
NSG Lab. team attended 2022 AGU Fall meeting in Chicago, IL. Dr. Dogan gave a talk on the detection of tree roots to track the infiltration processes through the root ball. Her talk was based on the data collected by recently graduated MSc. student Nazife Onaral. Novel high resolution measurement setups for Ground Penetrating Radar…
Nazife Onaral defends her MSc. thesis
Nazife Onaral has defended her MSc. thesis titled “Exploring the Effects of Tree Roots on Infiltration Process”. In her thesis research, Nazife worked on high resolution detection of the infiltration process in 4D by performing several infiltration experiments and imaging the root balls using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) methods of…
