Welcome to the EuroGPR trade association. Our goals are to promote good practice in the use of GPR for both commercial and academic use throughout Europe, to act as a forum for discussion on topical issues, and to act as a voice for our industry in lobbying European legislative authorities. Over the past years EuroGPR has played a pivotal role in producing a framework document for European Telecommunications and Standards Institute (ETSI) to produce a technical specification within which conforming GPR systems can be operated legally. The ETSI guidelines are expected to be passed in to EU law within 2005. We now have a licensing officer specifically tasked to keep abreast with licensing issues as they may arise.
We hold regular full meetings of the association each year and during my tenure as Chairman, I aim to expand the scope of these to encompass lectures and presentations on recent advances in GPR acquisition, data processing and visualisation techniques which will be of interest and benefit to all uses of this exiting young branch of Geophysics.
EuroGPR welcomes GPR practitioners from all users of our science, be they academic, or commercial, imaging deep ice structures within Icecaps and glaciers to people working at the cm scale in civil engineering structures.
