1. A method of interrogating a subsurface target, comprising:
deploying one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are deployed above the surface of the Earth and the target is buried below the surface;
obtaining data from the one or more sensors, wherein the data is obtained from the one or more sensors via one or more airborne devices, each comprising a drone, a helicopter, or an airplane, one or more ground borne vehicles, or one or more handheld devices or any combination thereof;
converting the data from the one or more sensors to a one-dimensional vector via an adjoint operator;
processing the one-dimensional vector with a computer model to obtain a multidimensional (3D and 4D) image reconstruction of the target.
