Rock Physics of the Critical Zone: Models, Inversion, and Interpretation

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Rock physics models link geophysical measurements with subsurface petrophysical properties, such as porosity, mineral composition, and fluid saturation. While originally developed for hydrocarbon exploration, these models are increasingly applied in the near surface for quantitative interpretation of geophysical data.

Enhancing rock mass classification with ground penetrating radar: a novel approach for subsurface discontinuity assessment in geotechnical engineering

REM: International Engineering Journal
This article explores the application of ground penetrating radar (GPR) as a novel, cost-effective tool for rock mass classification in geotechnical engineering. Traditional rock mass classification systems, such as the rock quality index (RQD), the rock

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for bridge inspection

Bridge inspection plays a crucial role in providing bridge operators with an overview of their infrastructure’s current condition, enabling them to extend their service life. This is even more important since a significant number of bridges were constructed after World War II with few comprehensive documents regarding their construction, for example ...

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Deciphering transitions within ice–debris complexes in the Northern Tien Shan through surface characteristics and internal structure

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Geophysical (GPR and ERT) data reveal a transition from buried glacial ice to an ice–debris mixture within ice–debris complexes in Kazakhstan; this transition is reflected in surface morphological and kinematic characteristics. We identify some relationships between internal ice content and associated surface kinematics but caution against ...

A novel processing framework for tree root mapping and density estimation using ground penetrating radar

, 2019
Estimating the root density of mature trees is of high importance as the root system is a robust indicator of both the health status and the structural integrity of a tree.

Stemflows and Preferential Flows: A Historical Review and Challenges for the Future

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Possible implementation of stemflow in the MIPS model where all water in the system is represented as particles in pathways of specified velocity. Stemflow (green particles) can be treated as a localised input with probabilities of entering higher velocity pathways than throughfall, depending on the input rates.
