Rabbit Valley Geophysics Performance Evaluation Range

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Grand Junction Projects Office (GJPO) has provided a facility for DOE,<br>other Government agencies, and the private sector to evaluate and document the utility of specific geophysical<br>measurement techniques for detecting and defining cultural and environmental targets. This facility is the Rabbit<br>Valley Geophysics Performance Evaluation Range (GPER), which includes test cells in the high-desert terrain of<br>Rabbit Valley, 30 miles west of Grand Junction, Colorado, and test cells and calibration models at the DOE-GJPO<br>facility in Grand Junction. Figures 1 and 2 provide an overview of Rabbit Valley, which is readily accessible from<br>Interstate 70 but is isolated from the effects of cultural activities and structures.
