Acquisition of Equipment for Investigating Coincident Seismic and GPR Imaging

0002233贝克这笔赠款为纽约州立大学布法罗分校购买一套工作频率从25兆赫到100兆赫的天线的探地雷达(GPR)系统和一台用于地球物理研究的现场加固笔记本电脑提供部分支持。该系统将与多道地震系统一起用于研究联合使用地震和探地雷达技术来检查超浅地下(3米)的结构。使用互补的地球物理技术，包括探测地下弹性参数的地震和探测地下电磁特性的探地雷达，是环境地球物理研究的一个肥沃领域，为描绘和处理各种环境紧迫问题提供了希望，包括危险材料的去向和运输、地下水资源问题以及未绘制地图的埋藏物的识别。近地表地球物理技术提供了对地下的非侵入性观察，对社会问题有明确的应用，是地球物理学学生课程的重要组成部分，特别是在城市环境中。***

0002233BakerThis grant provides partial support of the costs of acquiring a ground penetrating radar (GPR) system with a set of antennas that operate at frequencies ranging from 25 Mhz to 100 MHz and a field-hardened laptop computer for research in geophysics at the State University of New York - Buffalo. This system will be used together with a multi-channel seismic system for research on the coincident use of seismic and GPR techniques for examining the structure of the ultra-shallow subsurface ( 3 m). The use of complementary geophysical techniques including seismic, which probes the elastic parameters of the subsurface, and GPR, which probes the electromagnetic properties of the subsurface, is a fertile area of research in environmental geophysics and offers promise for delineating and dealing with a variety of environmentally pressing problems including, the fate and transport of hazardous materials, groundwater resource issues, and identification of unmapped buried objects. Near-surface geophysical techniques offer a non-invasive look at the subsurface, have clear applications to societal problems, and are important components of curricula for students of geophysics, particularly in urban environments. ***
