Abstract

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is an effective tool to visualise the structure of the shallow subsurface. The purpose of this article is to offer guidelines to non-specialist GPR users on the collection, processing and interpretation of GPR data in a range of environments. The discussion on survey design focuses on single fold, fixed-offset reflection profiling, the most common mode of GPR data collection, however the design factors can be applied to other survey types. Information on the visualisation of processed data, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of GPR, is provided. Possible applications of GPR in geomorphological research are presented, along with a case study outlining how GPR can be used to measure peat thickness.
