Objective(s): To assess the feasibility of Ground Penetrating Radar in deltaic sediments; to gain a better understanding of the subsurface stratigraphy of sediments; to build a library of radar profiles for the region; to gain a better understanding of the local sedimentary environments; to conduct ground penetrating surveys on deltaic complexes; to contribute to the existing knowledge and understanding of deltas, particularly fluvial dominant;
Project Description: The Researchers will use ground penetrating radar to conduct surveys on the surface of the delta plains. The radar waves are similar to FM radio waves in their frequency. Measurements wll be taken every 1 - 2 meters in the sample area by placing fiberglass boards on the surface.
