Abstract

Karst as an extremely complex and heterogeneous system, that presents a great challenge for the ground penetrating radar (GPR). However, properly planed GPR surveys can provide additional information about the shallow subsurface, where most karst processes take place. Due to the specific nature of the karst terrain, the introductory part presents some obstacles and adaptive approaches to karst research. An analysis of the published literature revealed that the GPR is most commonly used for detecting caves and subsidence areas and for preventing collapses in urban areas and for construction interventions. This is followed by exploration of karst aquifers, epikarst and quarry research. Some non-established applications are also presented, such as the use of a georadar in exploration of unroofed caves and cave sediments. The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate and evaluate the possibilities of using a georadar in different karst environments, to encourage its use in some new applications, and to emphasize the necessity of an interdisciplinary approach in such studies.

探地雷达在岩溶环境中的应用综述

岩溶作为一个极其复杂和异质的系统，对探地雷达提出了极大的挑战。然而，适当规划的探地雷达调查可以提供有关浅层地下的额外信息，大多数岩溶过程都发生在浅层地下。由于岩溶地形的特殊性，引言部分提出了岩溶研究的一些障碍和适应性途径。对已发表文献的分析表明，地质雷达最常用于探测洞穴和沉降区，用于防止城市地区的坍塌和施工干预。随后是岩溶含水层勘探、表层岩溶和采石场研究。还介绍了一些尚未建立的应用，例如在勘探未覆盖的洞穴和洞穴沉积物时使用地质雷达。本文的主要目的是证明和评估在不同岩溶环境中使用地质雷达的可能性，鼓励其在一些新的应用中使用，并强调在此类研究中采用跨学科方法的必要性。GEOLOGIJA 62/2279-300，卢布尔雅那2019https://doi.org/10.5474/geologija.2019.014
