Ground penetrating radar (GPR) and Photogrammetry, electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), electromagnetic and topography data of polygonal patterned ground in the Victoria and Beacon Valleys
Entry ID:
K054_2006_2007_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
To understand the subsurface properties of polygonal patterned ground (PPG) and to attempt to resolve competing theories of PPG activity, non-invasive, non-destructive geophysical methods were used to obtain three dimensional images of the subsurface beneath PPG at two sites in the Dry Valleys: Victoria Valley and Beacon Valley. In Victoria Valley an initial reconnaissance of the area was ...
