Użyteczność badań GPR do identyfikacji cech wewnętrznych osadów rzeki Wisły na obszarach NATURA 2000
Usefulness of GPR surveys for identification of internal features of Vistula River deposits in Natura 2000 areas

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the results of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) measurements carried out in Natura 2000 areas near Warsaw. The research was carried out in two research areas: the first was located on the Vistula River flood terrace and the second on the lower upper terrace within the peatland. The antennas with frequency 250 and 500 MHz were used for GPR investigations. As a result of the conducted research, the internal architecture of river terraces has been illustrated and the relief of the old riverbed is depicted in the area where it is covered by peats. The presented research results confirm that the non-invasive method, such as GPR measurements, is useful in the interpretation of the internal architecture of sandy braided river deposits.
