Models of changes in geo-radar registrations caused by hydrocarbon contamination

Author: H. Marcak

The possibility of locating hydrocarbon contamination in soil is discussed.

The following problems are considered:

- emission of geo-radar waves in a medium with fluctuating electrical properties,

- flow of mixture consisting of hydrocarbon contamination and water in inhomogeneous litnological strata,

- estimation of differences in the geo-radar signals structure from clean and contaminated areas and interpretation of the difference on the base of results obtained in the firts two points.
