About
Dr. Hannes Schiel is a leading figure in archaeological geophysics, specializing in the development and application of high-resolution ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for large-area prospection. His most cited work, a 2018 paper on large-area high-resolution GPR measurements, has garnered 128 citations and revolutionized non-invasive archaeological surveying. Schiel’s major contribution lies in advancing multi-channel GPR arrays and efficient data processing techniques, enabling the rapid, detailed mapping of subsurface archaeological features across vast landscapes—a significant leap from traditional single-channel systems. His innovations have allowed archaeologists to visualize buried structures, settlements, and landscapes with unprecedented clarity, transforming how heritage sites are explored and preserved. With a career marked by interdisciplinary collaboration, Schiel’s work bridges geophysics and archaeology, providing essential tools for cultural heritage management. His research has been instrumental in major European archaeological projects, demonstrating the power of high-resolution GPR to uncover hidden histories without excavation. For students and researchers, Schiel exemplifies how technological innovation can deepen our understanding of the past, making complex geophysical methods accessible and impactful for archaeological discovery.
