I. Laboratory Functions & Software

GIS Laboratory

The GIS Laboratory offers integrated services in geographical informatics, supporting research in Cultural Heritage Management and Archaeological Excavations.

  • Primary Goal: To collect, analyze, and present spatial data to support vital sectors.
  • Infrastructure: Equipped with 20 high-performance computer units.
  • Software: Utilizes ArcGIS, the global leader in spatial data management.
  • Services: Digital map production, advanced spatial analysis, and specialized training courses.

II. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

GPR Field Survey

The GPR is a non-destructive geophysical tool that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. It is essential for detecting buried structures and utilities.

  • Mechanism: Transmits radar pulses to detect differences in electrical properties.
  • Archaeology: Pinpointing buried artifacts without excavation.
  • Civil Engineering: Detecting water pipes and electrical cables.
  • Coverage: Survey area up to 1000 square meters (One Dunum).

"Yarmouk University will not bear any additional costs related to the surveying operation."

Service Cost: 500 JOD per plot (1 Dunum)
