Estimating active layer thickness and volumetric water content from ground penetrating radar measurements in Barrow, Alaska
Ground penetrating radar ( GPR ) has emerged as an effective tool for estimating active layer thickness ( ALT ) and volumetric water content ( VWC ) within the active layer. In August 2013, we conducted a series of GPR and probing surveys using a 500 MHz antenna and metallic probe around Barrow, Ala...
