Default Ground Penetrating Radar

I have a Literature review assignment for TAFE (Dip Arb) and im just wondering if anyone knows any good literature on Ground Penetrating Radar and it's use in the Arb industry.
These could books or articles in journals etc.
or even Arborage i guess.
Ive found a few by using google but need a few more.

Thanks in advance.

Look at archeology sites as well. A fair bit to find, most Arb root mapping stuff has evolved from work here.

Hey,

I find this subject interesting, I like watching "Time Team" this show is about a group of archeoalogists that go around England digging up roman artifacts.

They feature the ground penetrating radar and a lot of the times it seems to work however at times its seems to be inconclusive to say the least.

I often wonder how good it would be on root mapping ? please add to this thread as you do your research I think the greater arb comunity would be interested.

Willem took pics and a few posts down wrote the result etc .... not very accurate.

Also we have the report from Newcastle Laman Street Figs on ground penetrating radar.
