High‐Resolution Geological Information from Crosshole Ground Penetrating Radar in Clayey Tills

چکیده

Heterogeneous glacial deposits dominate large parts of the Northern Hemisphere. In these landscapes, high-resolution characterization geology is crucial for understanding contaminant transport. Geological information mostly obtained from multiple boreholes drilled during a site investigation, but such point-based data alone do not always provide required resolution to map small-scale heterogeneity between boreholes. Crosshole ground penetrating radar (GPR) suggested as tool adding credible geological at contaminated investigations in industrial sites where infrastructure, electrical installations, can pose challenge other geophysical methods. GPR are sensitive dielectric permittivity and bulk conductivity, which be related distribution water content sand/clay occurrences. Here we present detailed crosshole dataset collected an clay till setting. The processed using novel inversion approach on changes velocity attenuation signal independently. results compared borehole logs, grain size analyses, relative permeability site. analysis provided valuable lateral variability. A silt layer with thickness few decimeters, likely important flow characterization, was confirmed resolved by data. Our findings suggest that has potential contributing filling gap boreholes, thereby becoming relevant investigations.

Geostatistical inference using crosshole ground-penetrating radar

High-resolution tomographic images obtained from crosshole geophysical measurements have the potential to provide valuable information about the geostatistical properties of unsaturated-zone hydrologic-state variables such as moisture content. Under drained or quasi-steady-state conditions, the moisture content will reflect the variation of the physical properties of the subsurface, which deter...

Ground-Penetrating Radar

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has recently gained a wide acceptance in the archaeological community as a method that can quickly and accurately locate buried archaeological features, artifacts, and important cultural strata in the near-surface. The GPR method has been especially effective in certain sediments and soils between about 20 cm and 5 m below the ground surface, where the targets to ...

Ground - Penetrating Radar ( Paper

GPR senses electrical inhomogeneities, with these manifested, for example, by the electrical contrast of a metal mine in the presence of a far-less-conducting soil background. Of much more difficulty, GPR senses the electrical inhomogeneity caused by a dielectric (plastic) landmine in the presence of soil. Often this contrast is very weak, implying that the landmine GPR signal is very small. Th...

Ground Penetrating Radar Fundamentals

Ground penetrating radar (commonly called GPR) is a high resolution electromagnetic technique that is designed primarily to investigate the shallow subsurface of the earth, building materials, and roads and bridges. GPR has been developed over the past thirty years for shallow, high resolution investigations of the subsurface. GPR is a time-depen­ dent geophysical technique that can provide a 3...

Chapter 2 . Ground Penetrating Radar

The aim of Chapter 2 is to give an overview of the GPR basic principles and technology. A lot of definitions and often-used terms that will be used throughout the whole work will be explained here. Readers who are familiar with GPR and the demining application can skip parts of this chapter. Section 2.2.4 however can be interesting since a description of the hardware and the design parameters o...
