Water penetrating radar

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a commonly-used geophysical technique, yet the use of water-penetrating (WPR) has been less-well researched and published on. This surprising, given wide GPR on ice success early aquatic experiments in 1970s 1980s. The past 15 years have seen advances modes antenna deployment, understanding limiting environmental conditions applications to geotechnical engineering (e.g. bridge support scour), siltation sedimentation reservoirs flood-relief water-courses, sometimes due climate change); location sediment cores for palaeoecology; search rescue operations crime illegal dumping waste water). manuscript will review above, from common techniques through typical with engineering, archaeological forensic case studies that demonstrate some surveys covered review.
