Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a non-destructive close-range remote sensing geophysical method that utilises electromagnetic pulses for subsurface imaging. Electromagnetic waves travel at the specific velocity which determined by the dielectric permittivity of the material. The method is capable of yielding real-time high resolution data.

Since its target application is inner structure assessment and buried artefacts detection, GPR can be used to detect environmental hazards at surface level. This is extremely important for early detection of threats that buried hazards can pose to the environment as well as the plants and animals within it. In environmental studies, GPR can be employed in wetlands and peatlands surveying including permafrost peat bogs, in subsurface hydrogeology studies (such as soil pipes mapping), for assessment of landfill limits, in mapping of contamination extent and migration etc.

This Special Issue is mainly dedicated to publishing a collection of papers that provides an up-to-date overview of the research that apply GPR technology in environmental studies. We invite you to submit articles on the following topics:

• GPR applications in environmental surveying;
• Application of GPR technique in peatland conservation projects;
• GPR technique as a tool in studying petrocalcic horizons as potential sinks of atmospheric CO₂;
• Applications of GPR in Geocryology;
• Mapping of contaminated plums with GPR;
• Air and airborne GPR systems for environmental studies;
• New GPR data processing algorithms for environmental studies;
• Combined use of GPR and complementary non-destructive techniques in environmental surveying.
