Using ground-penetrating radar in Arctic archaeology - U.S.
Jun 4, 2020 · Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) offers many advantages for assessing archaeological potential in frozen and partially frozen contexts in high latitude and alpine regions.
The evolution of IceMap demonstrates the value of GPR for arctic exploration. The same issue addressed by oil exploration is faced all across the arctic by exploration teams. Some key benefits of IceMap are: • A simple, fast and easy-to-use solution • Immediate feedback on ice conditions • Capacity to locate both grounded ice and liquid water
Mapping subsurface conditions within the near-shore zone of an Arctic …
Apr 1, 2009 · In this study we demonstrate how GPR can be used to characterize a variety of significant subsurface features in the near-shore zone of Arctic deltas (e.g. water bathymetry, sedimentary stratigraphy, cryostratigraphy).
Frozen: The Potential and Pitfalls of Ground-Penetrating Radar …
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been shown to be useful for addressing archaeological (and closely related paleoecological, geological and paleontological) questions in a range of settings in Arctic Alaska, including both partially frozen and fully frozen contexts.
ided by point-scale measurements (e.g., cores), geophysical methods hold potential for improving soil and permafrost characterization. In this study, we evaluate the use of a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to.
Classification of freshwater ice conditions on the Alaskan Arctic ...
Oct 11, 2013 · Here, we combined the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) and high-resolution (HR) spotlight TerraSAR-X (TSX) satellite data (1.25 m resolution) to identify and characterize floating ice and grounded ice conditions in lakes, ponds, …
Frozen: The Potential and Pitfalls of Ground-Penetrating Radar …
Dec 9, 2016 · Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) offers many advantages for assessing archaeological potential in frozen and partially frozen contexts in high latitude and alpine regions.
Quantification of Arctic Soil and Permafrost Properties Using …
The research team developed an approach to improve the estimation of ice-wedge dimension and other permafrost characteristics by integrating various geophysical imaging techniques including ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT).
Using ground-penetrating radar in Arctic archaeology
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) offers many advantages for assessing archaeological potential in frozen and partially frozen contexts in high latitude and alpine regions.
penetrating radar (GPR) in the 0.1–1.0 GHz frequency range offers a viable alternative to obtain spatially continuous estimates of ALT. Many studies have used GPR to map thaw depth at a variety...
