Geospatial Investigation of Fort Ord Dunes State Park : Ground Penetrating Radar

Abstract

The recently developed Fort Ord Dunes State Park, located north of Monterey Bay, California, has a coastal dune complex along with an abandoned military base. The purpose of this study was to better understand the internal stratigraphy of this dune complex and assess the cultural impacts of the abandoned base, through use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey, which was undertaken along the present dune apex.
