Spatial Statistical Model and Optimal Survey Design for Rapid Geophysical Characterization of UXO Sites

Unexploded ordnance(UXO)surveys encompass large areas, and the cost of surveying these areas can be high. Enactment of earlier protocols for sampling UXO sites have shown the shortcomings of these procedures and led to a call for development of scientifically defensible statistical procedures for survey design and analysis. This project is one of three funded by SERDP to address this need.
