Using in situ measurements to improve the reliability and reduce the cost of your site investigation

In situ measurements can help you improve the reliability and reduce the cost of your site investigations, despite the fact that they may exhibit a larger degree of uncertainty than ex situ methods. To find out how you can exploit in situ measurements to best effect, join us at Effective Site Investigation and Data Management 2017, which takes place in Birmingham on 24 - 25 May.

You will hear Mike Ramsey, Emeritus Professor, University of Sussex, explain the benefits of in situ measurements, illustrated by case studies featuring in situ gamma-ray spectrometry, and describe how new ISO standards can help quantify the uncertainty.
