Conductors and Dielectrics
• Skin depth • Skin depth
• = SQRT (2/wms) • = 2 SQRT (e/m) / s
• Wave speed • Wave speed
• = SQRT (2w/ms) • = 1 / SQRT (me)
• Wavelength • Wavelength
• = 2p SQRT (2/wms) • = 2p / w SQRT (me)
• GPR frequencies
– Lowest ~80 MHz
• sees deepest— ~30m
• but poor rez.
– Highest ~1200 MHz
• Shallow— ~10 cm
• High rez

Things to notice
• Gasoline spreads in fingers, maybe reflecting
microtextures in the sand.
• The fingers wax (and wane?) as heads build
up at the source. They pulse outward.
• (Not shown) A repeat survey done the
following spring showed bright spots (gas
pockets) scattered at different depths.
Problem: Why bright spots?
