Mundell Geophysics Teams up with DePauw University to Image a Cave

December 18, 2017 Topic: Company News

Part of Mundell & Associates’ Geophysical Team Ryan Brumbaugh and Forrest Kunkel traveled to Boone-Hutcheson Cemetery in Putnam County, Indiana with DePauw University’s Environmental Geophysics class to demonstrate two-dimensional electrical resistivity methods. The area surrounding the Boone-Hutcheson Cemetery has several sinkholes and a documented cave with lots of local lore that can be entered near the cemetery, which provided a great area for showcasing the capabilities of the electrical resistivity method.

The objective was to provide DePauw University students a better understanding of electrical resistivity theory and application by utilizing a 2D electrical resistivity survey to non-intrusively image the cave near Boone-Hutcheson Cemetery. MUNDELL first gave the students a brief presentation on the method of two-dimensional electrical resistivity that supplemented their in-class lecture series. The DePauw students then participated in a hands-on exercise to collect electrical resistivity data above the cave.

As a result of this collaboration, Mundell & Associates provided the students with a better understanding of electrical resistivity methods in the field and successfully imaged the Boone-Hutcheson Cave in a 2D electrical resistivity profile!

Reduce Erosion and Preserve Topsoil

Land degradation has increased around the world as our human activities pollute or degrade the quality of soil, affecting not only food production but the overall ecosystems. What can we do locally to preserve our soil?

  • Rotate the crops you grow in your garden.
  • Use local mulch, especially in bare stops to help plants ground and prevent water runoff.
  • Plant large plants such as trees and hedges to reduce wind speed.
  • Minimize soil compaction by create permanent walkways and encouraging people to stay on them.
