Resumen:

The potential of Ground-penetrating radar in geological materials has been discussed. The application areas for GPR are diverse. In this work, high-quality radar data acquired in the field are illustrated by selected case histories. Two case histories show how radar has been used to map fractures and changes of rock type to 15 m range from metamorphic rocks. Another case history demonstrates how radar has also been used to detect and map the fresh bedrock and the groundwater channels in a landslide. The radar results demonstrate the utility of the high-resolution radar method as an aid for paleoseismological investigations and extrapolation of the information. The radar method is becoming economically viable and it is increasingly used in geosciences. One of the most important aspects to highlight is that the GPR technique offers a rapid, non-invasive-high-resolution method for detecting and mapping geological features in the subsurface for a specific area. This geophysics method is easy to use and it permits to shows, in the field and real-time, the structures present in an area under study. GPR can be used for a variety of applications that previously could not be solved quickly or required expensive prospecting techniques to be considered practical. © 1st EAGE Conference on Near Surface in Latin America 2021.
