Information on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

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