Title Ground penetrating radar measurements of tree roots in confined areas
Summary Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a crucial non-invasive tool for imaging tree roots. It is particularly important for detecting rotten roots and assessing the structural stability of trees. By providing real-time and high-resolution subsurface imagery, GPR enhances the assessment of tree health and helps prevent potential hazards and fatal tree fall accidents caused by weakened root systems.

In this project, the student will help the research team in our GPR project with the following responsibilities:

- Conducting GPR measurements of the tree roots buried in confined areas
- Performing sonic tomography-based measurements (if needed)
- Developing signal processing algorithms to process the GPR measurement data

The current study primarily involves measurement campaigns and software development.
