Description
Summary:During a field campaign in the Austral spring 2012 the sedimentary architecture of a periglacial flood plain at the northeastern coast of Potter Peninsula (Area 5) was revealed using ground-penetrating radar (GPR, Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. SIR-3000). 14 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)
