Ground Penetrating Radar: Theory and Applications, Second Edition is a fully updated reference covering a rapidly developing field that has seen tremendous progress in recent years. Spanning a variety of disciplines, including geophysics, technology and a wide range of other scientific and engineering applications, the book covers a breadth of applications, making it a valuable tool in geophysical consulting and in geotechnical engineering. This new edition offers an up-to-date synthesis and an overview of this rapidly developing field, featuring coverage of primary literature devoted to GPR technology, theory, and applications and updates, including new chapters on utility, modeling and visualization. Because there are specifics in the utilization of GPR for different applications, a review of the current state of development of the applications and its fundamental theory is required. Serves as an extensive review of GPR theory and applications by leaders in the fieldIncludes fully updated research, reviews of the field and detailed referencesOffers primary research for both experienced practitioners and newcomers to the field, including industry personnel, consulting companies and academic institutesProvides links to video simulations and expanded images INDICE: I.
