Welcome to Issue 1, Volume 2 of Ground Penetrating Radar, the first peer-refereed, open-access, international academic journal designed to advance scientific knowledge and foster innovative engineering solutions in the field of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This issue includes four papers (see the Preface for an introduction to the papers), a Retraction Note, and a 'News & Announcements' section. We are delighted to inform our Readers and Authors that we have recently joined Crossref, this will guarantee higher discoverability and visibility of Ground Penetrating Radar papers to the research community. Crossref was founded in 2000 by a group of publishers who needed an efficient method to connect their journal articles, and so they started using DOIs to link references between articles. When an article is registered with Crossref, the bibliographic metadata of that article are submitted, such as the title, authors, publication dates, online location, the DOI, and the references, to name a few. This makes it easier, e.g., for a Reader to locate all items registered in Crossref citing a certain article. Not only new Ground Penetrating Radar papers, but also papers published on Ground Penetrating Radar in 2018 are going to be registered in CrossRef! Moreover, we have updated the journal website and each published paper now has a dedicated webpage. We are also pleased to inform you that two Special Issues are being launched: • The last issue of Volume 2 (to be published in December 2019) will be a collection of scientific papers resuming contributions presented during Session GI4.

“…In 2013-2017, European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action TU1208 "Civil engineering applications of Ground Penetrating Radar" contributed remarkably to the advancement of GPR research, not only in the civil-engineering field, but also in the cultural heritage area of application [30,31]. The Action helped to overcome the fragmentation of funding in the context of Horizon2020, by providing coordination, networking and training opportunities to more than three hundreds GPR researchers and innovators [32,33]; it also helped to raise awareness about GPR capabilities and applications in the European continent, and to establish a better dialogue between scientists, stakeholders and end-users of GPR research through a series of science communication initiatives some of which were dedicated to the use of GPR in archaeological prospection [34].…”

This paper presents the results of a research study where ground penetrating radar (GPR) was successfully used to reveal the remains of the Württemberg-Stambol Gate in the subsurface of Republic Square, in Belgrade, Serbia. GPR investigations were carried out in the context of renovation works in the square, which involved rearranging traffic control, expanding the pedestrian zone, renewing the surface layer, and valorising existing archaeological structures. The presence of the gate remains was suggested by historical documents and information from previous restoration works. A pulsed radar unit was used for the survey, with antennas having 200- and 400-MHz central frequencies. Data were recorded over a grid and two three-dimensional models were built, one for each set of antennas. The grid was the same for both sets of antennas, therefore the two models could be compared. Several horizontal cross sections of the models were plotted, corresponding to different depths; these images were carefully examined and interpreted, paying particular attention to signatures that could originate from the sought archaeological structures. Reflections coming from the gate remains were identified in both models, in the same region of the survey area and at the same depth; the geometry, size, and layout of the gate columns, as well as of other construction elements belonging to the gate, were determined with very good accuracy. Based on the GPR findings, archaeological excavation works were carried out in the region where the foundation remains were estimated to be. The presence of the remains was confirmed, with various columns and side walls. This case study demonstrates and further corroborates the effectiveness and reliability of GPR for the non-invasive prospection of archaeological structures hidden in the heterogeneous subsurface of urban environments. In the opinion of the authors, GPR should be incorporated as a routine field procedure in construction and renovation projects involving historical cities.
