Description

Direct measurement of soil depth using auger drilling to bedrock contact, validated with cone penetrometer resistance profiles. Distinguishes mobile regolith from weathered bedrock layers.

Typical Equipment

  • soil auger
  • dynamic cone penetrometer (CPT)
  • measuring tape

Output Measurements

  • soil thickness
  • resistance profiles
  • bedrock depth
