Ground Penetrating Radar: A Useful Tool for Shallow Subsurface Stratigraphy Characterization

Using martian single and double layered ejecta craters to probe subsurface stratigraphy

Martian craters with fluidized ejecta – including single-layered, double-layered and multiple-layered craters – have been studied extensively, with their formation generally suggested to require some presence of volatiles in the subsurface. However, experimental reproduction of these morphologies, impact modelling, and the occurrence of layered ejecta in putative volatile poor regions suggests ...

Sequence Stratigraphy

Sequence stratigraphy is the study of sediments and sedimentary rocks in terms of repetitively arranged facies and associated stratal geometry (Vail 1987; Van Wagoner et al 1988, 1990; Christie-Blick 1991). It is a technique that can be traced back to the work of Sloss et al (1949), Sloss (1950, 1963), and Wheeler (1958) on interregional unconformities of the North American craton, but it becam...

Genesis and Deformation of Firn Stratigraphy in West and East Antarctica: Evidence from the Us Itase Subsurface Radar Profiles

The US contribution to the ITASE program obtained shallow and deep radar profiles along its thousands of km of traverse during 1999–2003 over West Antarctica, and along its 1200 km traverse behind the Transantarctic Mountains in East Antarctica during 2006–2007. I discuss the shallow profiles, which used short-pulse radar operating at 400 MHz to profile depths of 56–135 m in West Antarctica, an...
