Abstract
With the desk study completed, the objectives of the site characterization should be well defined, the area of investigation known and the regional geologic setting established. While the overview aerial photo or photo mosaic of the area of interest has provided an initial familiarization of the site, we are now concerned with additional details that can be obtained from a detailed analysis of the aerial photos.
