Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number. for improved modeling of geophysical data in these environments. Lastly, through our field work we have discovered that sites previously thought to be benign may exhibit weak viscous remanent magnetization. Thus the field activities from this project have broad implications for ongoing and future remediation efforts in similar environments within the continental US. 3On another research front, we have utilized the information gathered from our field and laboratories activities to develop robust forward modeling algorithms and material on filter analysis of TDEM data in the presence of magnetic geologic noise. For example, we present a method for simulating the background response of strong magnetic environments on EM data using correlated random numbers. We show how these simulated responses may prove viable for discrimination of UXO in these magnetic terrains.Finally, we demonstrate new sets of procedures for improved target detection and decreased false positives in strongly magnetic environments based on the magnetic method. This includes development and implementation of iterative Wiener and wavelet based filter approaches for separating the response of magnetic geology from those of UXO. In addition, we demonstrate successful implementation of a high-pass Butterworth filter originally applied during decorrugation of unleveled magnetic data for the same purpose.4
