21 ground-penetrating radar lines of Area 1 - Beach ridge plain (low wave energy) from Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctic Peninsula

During two field campaigns (Austral springs 2011 and 2012) the sedimentary architecture of a polar gravel-beach system at the western coast of Potter Peninsula (Area 1) was revealed using ground-penetrating radar (GPR, Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. SIR-3000). 21 profiles were collected using a mo...

Description
Summary:During two field campaigns (Austral springs 2011 and 2012) the sedimentary architecture of a polar gravel-beach system at the western coast of Potter Peninsula (Area 1) was revealed using ground-penetrating radar (GPR, Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. SIR-3000). 21 profiles were collected using a mono-static 200 MHz antenna operated in common offset mode. Trace increment was set to 0.05 m. A differential global-positioning system (dGPS, Leica GS09) was used to obtain topographical information along the GPR lines. GPR data are provided in RADAN-Format, dGPS coordinates are provided in ascii format; projection is UTM (WGS 84, zone 21S). : DFG Project PolarBeach (LI2005/1-1)
