Dr. Ernenwein's research focuses on archaeological geophysics and GIS for locating buried archaeological features and understanding human spatial behavior. She has extensive experience with ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic induction, magnetometry, and resistivity. She has conducted geophysical surveys and archaeological investigations in Jordan, Portugal, and Bolivia, and in North America’s Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, Northwest, Sacramento Valley, Southwest, Mid-South, and Southeast.
