241: How Geophysics is Revolutionizing Archaeological Exploration

"Geophysics and archaeology are merging in a powerful way, helping us understand ancient communities without damaging their sites. It’s about learning from the past while honoring it." In this episode, we look at how geophysics transforms archaeology by enabling researchers to uncover hidden historical sites without digging. Guests Michael Wilt and Richard Krahenbuhl discuss incredible advances in non-invasive tools like ground-penetrating radar and drones, which help archaeologists map ancient structures, even in challenging urban environments. From Egypt’s pyramids to hidden city sites, learn how geophysical tools give us new ways to explore history and preserve it for future generations. KEY POINTS & TAKEAWAYS > How Geophysics is Shaping Archaeology: Discover how methods like radar, magnetics, and resistivity are helping archaeologists "see" beneath the surface without disturbing sensitive sites, preserving cultural heritage along the way. > Challenges of Urban Archaeology: Hear about the unique struggles of working in cities, where modern infrastructure like pipes and cables can interfere with data, and discover how researchers overcome these obstacles. > The Future of Non-Invasive Tech: Geophysical archaeology is evolving fast with emerging tools like drones and AI. Find out how these innovations lead to more precise data and help archaeologists uncover even the faintest traces of history. > Real-World Impact on Communities: From preserving early Christian structures to documenting West Africa's historic sites, learn how geophysics helps connect people and students with their past while respecting cultural sensitivities. > Becoming a Geophysical Archaeologist: Inspired by this field? Explore the unique blend of skills that bridge archaeology and geophysics, and hear what it takes to work in this exciting, emerging area. Listen to this episode to learn how geophysical tools push archaeology forward, giving us new ways to study and preserve our history. Dr. Richard Krahenbuhl is a research assistant professor in the Geophysics Department at the Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Michael Wilt is an affiliate with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY BLUWARE Bluware's InteractivAI is a human-powered AI seismic analysis tool, revolutionizing the way geoscientists extract value from seismic data. Unlike traditional seismic interpretation tools that just "check the box" for AI through black box algorithms, InteractivAI puts the interpreter in the driver's seat by presenting an intuitive, live feedback loop. Users experience a faster and more comprehensive interpretation, leading to higher-confidence decision-making. Learn more at https://bluware.com.

#3: James Gaiser, 2016 DISC lecturer

James Gaiser, SEG’s 2016 Distinguished Instructor, joins Andrew Geary to discuss his new book and course, 3C Seismic and VSP: Converted waves and vector wavefield applications. More info at seg.org/podcast. The SEG Distinguished Instructor Short Course (DISC) is an eight-hour, one-day course on a topic of current and widespread interest presented at locations throughout the world. With an emphasis on the unique aspects of vector wavefields, anisotropy, and the important relationships that unify S-waves and P-waves, the 2016 DISC presents an overview of 3C seismic theory and practical application: from fundamentals of PS-waves and vertical seismic profiles, through to acquisition and processing including interpretation techniques. “As a person who has published books, I am awed by the work the author has done to create this seminal publication.” Bob A. Hardage Senior Research Scientist, Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin • To register for the course, visit seg.org/disc • To purchase the book, visit seg.org/bookmart If you enjoy the show, show your support and please review Seismic Soundoff on iTunes.
