Abstract Unsustainable rates of groundwater (GW) depletion make GW management a priority. Effective GW management is hindered by the uncertainty in the predictions of aquifer models, but the increase of geodetic surface deformation data can improve aquifer characterization.

Karst development evaluation based on cross-hole radar tomography
Cross-hole geo-radar tomography, which belongs to the method of electromagnetic wave tomography between boreholes, is a way of borehole radar detection. Specifically, electromagnetic waves are transmitted form one borehole (transmitting borehole) and the

Liquid water content in ice estimated through a full-depth ground radar profile and borehole measurements in western Greenland [PDF]
Liquid water content (wetness) within glacier ice is known to strongly control ice viscosity and ice deformation processes. Little is known about wetness of ice on the outer flanks of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where a temperate layer of basal ice exists ...

Development of pulseEKKO borehole radar
This paper presents a progress report on a project undertaken in September 1994 to develop low cost borehole antennas for the pulseEKKO ground penetrating radar family. Survey methodology, data acquisition procedures, and interpretation are described for applications of these borehole antennas in near surface environments (ó30 m).

Abstract Large earthquakes often elevate seismicity in surrounding regions, as seen on the Xainza‐Dinggyê rift in southern Tibet after the 2015 MW 7.8 Gorkha (Nepal) earthquake. In contrast, the EW‐trending Yarlung Zangbo suture (YZS), located directly north of this event, exhibits seismic quiescence.

Coarse Sediment Transport in a Near‐Terminus Subglacial Channel
Abstract We present the first large‐sample, spatially resolved measurements of coarse sediment transport within a subglacial meltwater channel. We released 324 radio‐tagged pebbles into a near‐terminus channel of Glacier d’Otemma, Switzerland, and monitored their positions through 10–50 m of ice during the mid to late melt season.

ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Enhancement of Cross-Borehole Pulse Radar Signature on a Partially Water-Filled Tunnel
Cross-borehole pulse radar has been employed to detect a deeply located empty tunnel. In this paper, effects of underground water collected in the bottom of an empty tunnel on cross-borehole pulse radar signatures are analyzed numerically. B-scan images,

ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.
