Dr. Bill Sauck is professor emeritus in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Western ¾ÅÒ»Â鶹ÖÆƬ³§ University. He primarily focuses his research in ground penetrating radar application, electric resistivity and induced polarization, hydrogeology, mineral exploration and archeology.

Sauck spent six years in Brazil working in mineral exploration, groundwater problems and geophysical applications to archaeology in the Amazon region. His work led to the development of the conductive model for Light Non-Aqueous Phase Liquids spills. He has hosted a number of visiting scientists and graduate students from Egypt, traveling six times for groundwater exploration in the western Sinai and Eastern Desert. He has completed archaeological geophysics in Texas, American Samoa, the Yucatan, Brazil, New Mexico, Gotland Island (Sweden) and many sites in ¾ÅÒ»Â鶹ÖÆƬ³§.
