Ground penetrating radar (GPR) monitoring of a densely gridded survey field in the Lower Muschelkalk of a limestone quarry in Rüdersdorf near Berlin, Germany 2023/24

Surface Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) was used on the exposed limestone of a quarry to monitor a survey field of densely spaced profiles on three dates (in October 2023, December 2023 and February 2024). The different moisture conditions of these survey dates can be evaluated with linked detailed weather data (10.5281/zenodo.13867069). A time-depth conversion using CMP data to calculate the EM wave velocity suggested a GPR penetration depth of approximately 4 metres. The measurements were planned, carried out and analysed in the context of a Master's thesis on the potential of GPR to investigate the hydrodynamics of carbonate rocks relevant to groundwater recharge processes.
