Abstract :
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-known technique which is used to provide an introspective view of the subsoil and has numerous commercial and scientific applications. This paper shows how a well designed GPR permits a proper analysis of the geophysical characteristics of the first few meters of soil to be made. This widens its field of possible application to include investigation of the overall structure of the subsoil, rather than simply spotting localised anomalies
