“…For the purpose of defining the depth to the water table, the GPR method has been proven useful in several studies to date (e.g. Doolittle et al, 2006;Mahmoudzadeh et al, 2012;Rejiba et al, 2012;Afshar et al, 2015;Paz et al, 2017).…”

The Radovna River Valley is located in the north-western part of Slovenia in the Julian Alps, where there is an extensive intergranular aquifer whose depth to pre-Quaternary bedrock is unknown. Therefore, to obtain information about the depth of the valley and the geometry of the aquifer two geophysical methods were used in our study; ground penetrating radar (GPR) and seismic reflection method. The low-frequency GPR method has shown to be useful for determining the depth of the groundwater and the predominant groundwater recharge. Also, the high-resolution seismic method provided an insight about the morphology of the pre-Quaternary basement with the deepest point at 141 meters below surface. Measurements of hydrogeological parameters such as groundwater level and river discharge measurements were carried out in the study area. Both data analyses showed that groundwater level and river discharge are highly fluctuating and rapidly changing, indicating a well-permeable aquifer, implying that such an aquifer is extremely sensitive and vulnerable to extreme climate events. Both the geophysical methods and the hydrogeological information have provided important information about the morphology of the valley and the alluvial aquifer, as well as increasing the knowledge about the Radovna springs system, which will contribute very important information for future hydrogeological studies.

“…Depending on the application, the radar can use either air-coupling or ground-coupling antennas. GPR is employed in a variety of fields ranging from geophysical to civil engineering applications: for instance, it may be used for the analysis of wetland, rocks, pavements and structures analysis [62][63][64], underground water detection [65], or the study of ice sheets and the thickness of glaciers [66].…”

The manuscript reviews the current literature on scattering applications of RADAR (Radio Detecting And Ranging) in remote sensing and diagnostics. This paper gives prime features for a variety of RADAR applications ranging from forest and climate monitoring to weather forecast, sea status, planetary information, and mapping of natural disasters such as the ones caused by earthquakes. Both the fundamental parameters involved in scattering mechanisms of RADAR applications and the factors affecting RADAR performances are also discussed.

“…Geophysical prospection, particularly for the determination of features on the outskirts of Carchemish, including palaeochannels or water features, could also have added to our understanding of the wider landscape Review Reviews (e.g. Afshar et al 2015). While remote sensing above ground has revolutionised archaeology in the Near East, we sometimes forget that below-ground prospection could be as, or even more, revealing in many regions.…”
