Information on GPR

GPR uses radar principles to image, locate and quantitatively identify changes in electromagnetic properties under the ground. A GPR may operator from the earth's surface, from an aircraft or satellite or in boreholes.
     Information that can be obtained from GPR includes the depth, orientation, size and shape of buried objects, and the density and water content of soils.
     Ground penetrating radar is also known as earth sounding radar, ground probing radar, subsurface radar, or georadar.
