  2. 6. A comprehensive study of resistor-loaded planar dipole antennas for ground penetrating radar applications

    Author : Disala Uduwawala; Martin Norgren; Olav Breinbjerg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ground penetrating radar; buried object detection; dipole antennas; FDTD methods; broadband properties; baluns; simulation; optimal design; lossy media; dispersive media; clutter.; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;

    Abstract : Ground penetrating radar (GPR) systems are increasingly being used for the detection and location of buried objects within the upper regions of the earth’s surface. The antenna is the most critical component of such a system. READ MORE

  4. 7. Estimation of snow wetness using multi-offset ground penetrating radar : towards more accurate estimates of snow water equivalent

    Author : Nils Granlund; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tillämpad geofysik; Applied Geophysics; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : Measurements of snow water equivalent (SWE) constitute an important input to hydrological models used to predict snowmelt runoffs. The new generation of such models use distributed snow data, including distribution of SWE, as input, and rely on it for calibration and validation. READ MORE

  5. 8. Improving snow water equivalent estimates with ground penetrating radar by measuring on multiple channels

    Author : Nils Sundström; Robert W. Jacobel; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : Snow water equivalent (SWE) of a snowpack is often measured along well-chosen transects representative of an area of interest, such as a drainage basin, to capture spatial distribution of SWE, which is of great interest for many applications. For example, it is a useful input to the new generation of hydrological models used for snow melt run-off predictions. READ MORE

  6. 9. Dynamics of the cold surface layer of polythermal Storglaciären, Sweden

    Author : Rickard Pettersson; Per Holmlund; Peter Janssson; Jens-Ove Näslund; Regine Hock; Helgi Björnsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polythermal glacier; cold surface layer; ground-penetrating radar; spatial variability; water content; Storglaciären; Earth sciences; Geovetenskap;

    Abstract : Polythermal glaciers, i.e. glaciers with a combination of ice at and below the freezing point, are widespread in arctic and subarctic environments. The polythermal structure has major implications for glacier hydrology, ice flow and glacial erosion. READ MORE

  7. 10. Characterization of Hydrogeological Media Using Electromagnetic Geophysics

    Author : Niklas Linde; Laust B. Pedersen; Max A. Meju; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; Hydrogeophysics; radio magnetotellurics; ground penetrating radar; electrical resistance tomography; inversion; regularization; geostatistics; electrical anisotropy; fractured rock; Geofysik; Geophysics; Geofysik;

    Abstract : Radio magnetotellurics (RMT), crosshole ground penetrating radar (GPR), and crosshole electrical resistance tomography (ERT) were applied in a range of hydrogeological applications where geophysical data could improve hydrogeological characterization. A profile of RMT data collected over highly resistive granite was used to map subhorizontal fracture zones below 300m depth, as well as a steeply dipping fracture zone, which was also observed on a coinciding seismic reflection profile.
