Dear Sir or Madam,
Dear Colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce the start of the Abstract submission for the EGU General Assembly 2016 (EGU2016), 17 – 22 April 2016, Vienna, Austria. You are cordially invited to submit your scientific works to our session:

GI3.4
Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar in Geosciences
Convener: Said GACI
Co-Conveners: Olga Hachay, Hocine Chellal
Link: http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2016/session/20726

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. GPR has many applications in Earth sciences:
-Geophysical Survey (bedrock and water table profiling, soil and aggregate surveys, geotechnical mapping, sedimentological studies, river and lake bottom profiling, mineral exploration);
-Mapping underground structures (locating underground utilities, pipes, storage tanks and drums for repairs, upgrades, or removals),
-Environmental assessment (delineating landfills, detecting buried USTs and drums, hazardous waste site assessment, pollution assessments),
- Archaeology (mapping archaeological features and cemeteries);
This session covers all these issues and includes other GPR Applications that can be found in disciplines like: Seismology, Planetary Sciences, Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology and Geomorphology. We encourage scientists to submit their works, either oral communications or posters.


The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is 13 Jan 2016, 13:00 CET. In case you would like to apply for support, please submit no later than 01 Dec 2015.


Best wishes,
Said GACI,
