Acquisition of a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) System

这笔赠款支持购置一个探地雷达(GPR)系统，该系统配备了在12.5至200 MHz频率范围内运行的多个地面和井下天线。PI，Georgios Tsoflias，是一名职业生涯早期的研究员(博士99)，最近被堪萨斯大学聘用。Tsoflias将使用GPR系统来表征裂隙碳酸盐和碎屑含水层中流体流动的各向异性，并计划与同事Don Steeples合作，进行符合的全波场GPR和近地表介电和声波界面的地震成像。GPR系统还将支持与其他部门和地区同事的合作，对地下结构和古地震进行调查，并将用于电磁场技术和理论方面的本科生和研究生培训。**

0345445TsofliasThis grant supports acquisition of a ground penetrating radar (GPR) system equipped with multiple surface and borehole antennas operating in the 12.5 to 200 MHz frequency range. The PI, Georgios Tsoflias, is an early career investigator (Ph.D. '99) who was recently hired by the University of Kansas. Tsoflias will use the GPR system for subsurface characterization of the anisotropy of fluid flow in fractured carbonate and clastic aquifers and in planned collaborations with colleague Don Steeples for coincident full wavefield GPR and seismic imaging of near-surface dielectric and acoustic interfaces. The GPR system will also support collaborations with other departmental and regional colleagues for structural and paleoseismological investigations of the subsurface and will be used to train undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic field techniques and theory.***
