External DI Studies and Resources

Below is a list of studies and resources along with their external links that others have done regarding the use, performance, and application of Geoprobe® Direct Image® technologies. 

EPA's description of High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC).  The EPA shows the use of MIP in the creation of the HRSC model as well as the remedial benefits.
