Chernov A. The application of ground penetrating radar for engineering investigations in geophysics, hydrogeology and glaciology.

The research is devoted to generalization and development of a current investigation methodology, processing algorithms, manual recommendations for a field work, processing and interpretation of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) investigations for engineering geophysics, hydrogeology, glaciology. According to the information in publications (Elsevier, Scopus, dissertations of Ukrainian scientists), GPR is productive geophysical method for solving near surface problems of engineering geology and geophysics. There are different methodological approaches for the GPR investigations in engineering geology, for hydrogeology, lithology, structural geology, ecology, glaciology, which are described in publications. However, there is a need in generalization and development of current practical methodology for GPR investigations. Development of processing flow for exact objects, instructions for the field work, processing and interpretation stages should be obtained. Therefore this Ph.D. research was organized.
