Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is widely used on polythermal glaciers to image bed topography and detect internal scatter due to water inclusions in temperate ice. The glaciological importance of this is two-fold: bed topography is a primary component for modelling the long-term evolution of glacier...
