Abstract

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method for obtaining information about the subsurface with extremely high resolution. GPR waves are sensitive to changes in the subsurface. Contrasts in electrical and magnetic properties can be detected, imaged, and characterized from GPR data. Slob, Sato, and Olhoeft review how GPR has developed into a versatile tool used at the ground surface and in boreholes, for subsurface characterization and monitoring changes, in a variety of applications.
