Radar data acquired at the Former Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan.

Multi-offset radar data acquired over a conductive LNAPL plume at the Former Wurtsmith AFB, Michigan.

Radar Data Chart
a detailed map of Oscoda, Michigan, showing the delineation of a plume. A small inset indicates Oscoda's location relative to cities like Lansing and Saginaw. The map features site easting and northing coordinates (in feet) with two distinct plume delineations.
