Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a rapidly developing field that has seen tremendous progress over the past 15 years. The development of GPR spans aspects of geophysical science, technology, and a wide range of scientific and engineering applications. It is the breadth of applications that has made GPR such a valuable tool in the geophysical consulting and geotechnical engineering industries, has lead to its rapid development, and inspired new areas of research in academia. The topic of GPR has gone from not even being mentioned in geophysical texts ten years ago to being the focus of hundreds of research papers and special issues of journals dedicated to the topic. The explosion of primary literature devoted to GPR technology, theory and applications, has lead to a strong demand for an up-to-date synthesis and overview of this rapidly developing field. Because there are specifics in the utilization of GPR for different applications, a review of the current state of development of the applications along with the fundamental theory is required. This book will provide sufficient detail to allow both practitioners and newcomers to the area of GPR to use it as a handbook and primary research reference. *Review of GPR theory and applications by leaders in the field*Up-to-date information and references*Effective handbook and primary research reference for both experienced practitioners and newcomers

Download or read book Ground Penetrating Radar Surveying and Sediment Coring Analysis of a Post-glacial Lake, Eastern Newfoundland written by Jianguang Chen and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a relatively newly developed high-frequency electromagnetic technique that has been widely used in the shallow subsurface investigation for the last few decades. Recently, a GPR survey of a small organic-rich post-glacial lake (Grassy Pond) in Eastern Newfoundland shows significant continuous laminations within the lake sediments in the GPR profiles. Since there have been very few GPR stratigraphy studies of lacustrine sediments, the main focus of this project is on the correlation between the sediment stratigraphy and the GPR sub-bottom profiles. Secondary interests are: to estimate the carbon content of a typical small inland lake to help assess how such bodies have contributed to the carbon budget since the last glaciation; and to investigate chemical variability within the sediments. The work in this project includes GPR surveying, sediment coring, and sediment physical, geochemical and chronostratigraphic data acquisition, calibration and correlation. First of all, 50 and 100 MHz GPR surveys were completed on Grassy Pond when the lake surface was frozen in the winter. Bathymetric and depth-to-bedrock maps were created from the GPR profiles. Based on these two maps, a sediment distribution map was also created and this was used to choose sediment coring locations. Four sediment cores were collected by using a rod-driven piston corer, and additional GPR profiles were collected over these core locations. The cores were then scanned by a Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) to determine the physical properties. After that, the cores were sub-sampled and geochemically analyzed by ICP-OES. Selected sediment samples were also analyzed for C and N contents and isotopes, and radiocarbon dated. Lastly, the linkage was made between the geophysical and geochemical data, and a simple GPR forward model was created based on the sediment physical properties to enhance the data interpretation and correlation. The results show that the lake sediments of Grassy Pond are highly-organic and water-rich. Forward models of EM wave reflections show that the laminated GPR reflections within the sediments are caused by variations in water content. The geochemical analysis shows that the water content is anti-correlated to the lithic elemental concentrations. Since the lithic inputs can reflect past climate changes, we suggest that paleoclimatic changes may ultimately be responsible for the laminations seen in the GPR profiles. The carbon budge of Grassy Pond is calculated based on the sediment volume and average carbon content of the sediments, and it is estimated as 29 kg/m2, which is significantly higher than forest soils. Besides these major results, one of our basal sediment samples is dated back to 8.6 radiocarbon years ago, which corresponds to the end of last glaciation in the same region of Newfoundland. The sediments of Grassy Pond are found to be highly enriched in arsenic (As) and molybdenum (Mo), likely associated with the erosion of iron oxide minerals in the surrounding land, as Grassy Pond overlies the alteration zone of a gold prospect. In the deepest sediment core, many elements show a concentration peak near 6.3k years ago when the regional climate started to become drier, and erosion rates increased.

This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Geological Survey collected geophysical data in Deep Creek Lake in Garrett County, Maryland, between September 17 through October 4, 2007 to assist the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to better manage resources of the Lake. The objectives of the geophysical surveys were to provide estimates of sediment thickness in shallow areas around the Lake and to test the usefulness of three geophysi-cal methods in this setting. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR), continuous seismic-reflection profiling (CSP), and continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) were attempted. Nearly 90 miles of GPR radar data and over 70 miles of CSP data were collected throughout the study area. During field deployment and test-ing, CRP was determined not to be practical and was not used on a large scale. Sediment accumulation generally could be observed in the radar profiles in the shallow coves. In some seismic profiles, a thin layer of sediment could be observed at the water bottom. The radar profiles appeared to be better than the seismic profiles for the determination of sediment thick-ness. Although only selected data profiles were processed, all data were archived for future interpretation.

Book excerpt: This book draws together a series of studies of spit geomorphology and temporal evolution from around the world. The volume offers some unique insights into how these landforms are examined scientifically and how we as humans impact them, offering a global perspective on spit genesis and evolution. Spits are unique natural environments whose evolution is linked to the adjacent coast and near shore morphology, sediment supply, coastal dynamics and sea-level change. Over the past century, Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) has risen by 10 to 20 centimetres and many coastal spits represent the first sentinel against coastal submersion. Scientific research indicates that sea levels worldwide have been rising at a rate of 3.5 millimetres per year since the early 1990s, roughly twice the average speed of the preceding 80 years. This trend, linked to global warming will undoubtedly cause major changes in spit morphology. Spits are highly mobile coastal landforms that respond rapidly to environmental change. They therefore represent a signature of past environmental change and provide a landform indicator of climate change.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking work is the first to cover the fundamentals of hydrogeophysics from both the hydrogeological and geophysical perspectives. Authored by leading experts and expert groups, the book starts out by explaining the fundamentals of hydrological characterization, with focus on hydrological data acquisition and measurement analysis as well as geostatistical approaches. The fundamentals of geophysical characterization are then at length, including the geophysical techniques that are often used for hydrogeological characterization. Unlike other books, the geophysical methods and petrophysical discussions presented here emphasize the theory, assumptions, approaches, and interpretations that are particularly important for hydrogeological applications. A series of hydrogeophysical case studies illustrate hydrogeophysical approaches for mapping hydrological units, estimation of hydrogeological parameters, and monitoring of hydrogeological processes. Finally, the book concludes with hydrogeophysical frontiers, i.e. on emerging technologies and stochastic hydrogeophysical inversion approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geoarchaeology is the archaeological subfield that focuses on archaeological information retrieval and problem solving utilizing the methods of geological investigation. Archaeological recovery and analysis are already geoarchaeological in the most fundamental sense because buried remains are contained within and removed from an essentially geological context. Yet geoarchaeological research goes beyond this simple relationship and attempts to build collaborative links between specialists in archaeology and the earth sciences to produce new knowledge about past human behavior using the technical information and methods of the geosciences. The principal goals of geoarchaeology lie in understanding the relationships between humans and their environment. These goals include (1) how cultures adjust to their ecosystem through time, (2) what earth science factors were related to the evolutionary emergence of humankind, and (3) which methodological tools involving analysis of sediments and landforms, documentation and explanation of change in buried materials, and measurement of time will allow access to new aspects of the past. This encyclopedia defines terms, introduces problems, describes techniques, and discusses theory and strategy, all in a format designed to make specialized details accessible to the public as well as practitioners. It covers subjects in environmental archaeology, dating, materials analysis, and paleoecology, all of which represent different sources of specialist knowledge that must be shared in order to reconstruct, analyze, and explain the record of the human past. It will not specifically cover sites, civilizations, and ancient cultures, etc., that are better described in other encyclopedias of world archaeology. The Editor Allan S. Gilbert is Professor of Anthropology at Fordham University in the Bronx, New York. He holds a B.A. from Rutgers University, and his M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. were earned at Columbia University. His areas of research interest include the Near East (late prehistory and early historic periods) as well as the Middle Atlantic region of the U.S. (historical archaeology). His specializations are in archaeozoology of the Near East and geoarchaeology, especially mineralogy and compositional analysis of pottery and building materials. Publications have covered a range of subjects, including ancient pastoralism, faunal quantification, skeletal microanatomy, brick geochemistry, and two co-edited volumes on the marine geology and geoarchaeology of the Black Sea basin.
