International audience Among different geophysical methods employed for glacier and permafrost characterization, Ground-Penetrating Radar has been employed many times since its first developments.However these GPR characterization were and are still mostly performed during field campaigns which can be sparse in time, expensive and human resource demanding, and can be limited by the difficulty to access areas.The purpose of this short paper is to present two approaches for northern latitudes features imaging during field mission and discuss the benefits brought by hardware and software improvements to develop the field of long-term monitoring. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the new paradigm that the internet of things brought to the field of surface GPR characterization of high latitude environment.
