Local history seminar - Saturday 12 November 2016

Chris Brooke - Ground-based archaeological remote sensing

Techniques for the non-destructive examination and analysis of historic buildings and archaeological sites under excavation using electromagnetic sensing methods were first developed at the University of Nottingham during the 1980s. They comprise techniques that can be used to investigate non-visible information including hidden wall paintings and illegible inscriptions.

Dr Christopher Brooke has been an Associate in the Department of History at the University of Nottingham for many years where he is also joint editor for the Southwell and Nottingham Church History project. He is additionally an Hon. Research Fellow at the University of Durham where he continues to develop ground-based and aerial remote sensing techniques for use in archaeology and the study of historic buildings.
