Ground Penetrating Radar

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): Seeing Below the Surface While Keeping Scientists Safe

Overview

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a valuable technology that utilizes waves of low frequency electromagnetic radiation to help polar scientists understand what is beneath their feet! Using real field data from the Icelandic glacier Múlajökull, along with a small selection of short videos and web-based resources
