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: Surveys will be conducted on the surface of the delta plains. A Pulse Ekko IV ground penetrating radar system will be used to take measurements every 1 to 2 metres using this portable system. These waves due to their frequency (50 to 200 MHz) have no affect on the environment (they are similar to FM radio waves).
