A Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey was conducted in April of 2008, collecting 27 km of radar profiles in Sandflugtdalen, a permafrosted glacio-fluvial bedrock valley in West Greenland. Due to low electric permittivity of frozen soil, GPR has good depth penetration of permafrost, up to 80 m usin...
