Ground Penetrating Radar for Ice and Snow Profiling |
||||||
Arctic and Antarctic ResearchGeophysicists, climatologists and civil engineers require a rugged and reliable tool to measure thickness and determine the structural aspects of ice and snow. GSSI ground penetrating radar has long been the industry standard in ice and snow profiling, and is used for locating targets in ice, determining ice and snow thickness, ice road profiling, glaciology studies and crevasse detection. Characterizing Ice Road Thickness with Ground Penetrating RadarIce road construction companies use GSSI ground penetrating radar to gather ice thickness information and determine whether travel over icy passages is safe. The Canadian diamond mining industry relies on ground penetrating radar to determine if manufactured frozen ice roads are secure.
Examine Glaciers with GSSI GPR SystemsResearch scientists use ground penetrating radar to study the internal structure of glaciers. The properties of ice allow for large penetration depths while producing strikingly high-resolution data sets of glacial ice.
Detect Crevasses with GSSI Ground Penetrating RadarScientific teams and civil engineers use ground penetrating radar to ensure the safe passage of vehicles and people over glacial ice. Glacial features, such as shear zones, create hazards that can be detected and avoided by using ground penetrating radar.
