Investigating peat deposits with ground-penetrating radar – a case study of drained bogs in Western Siberia, Russia
This paper deals with the assessment of the peat deposit transformation of two drained raised bogs (the Bakchar bog drained for forestry and the Ust-Bakchar bog drained for peat extraction) within the Western Siberian taiga zone. Specifically, the objectives of this study were to: 1) characterise th...
