Imaging frozen glacio-fluvial bedrock valley infill using Ground Penetrating Radar

A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted in April of 2008, collecting 27 km of radar profiles in Sandflugtdalen, a permafrosted glacio-fluvial bedrock valley in West Greenland. Due to low electric permittivity of frozen soil, GPR has good depth penetration of permafrost, up to 80 m using low-frequency (50 MHz) antennae. Resolution...
