abstract = {Cross-hole radar tomography is a useful tool for mapping
shallow subsurface electrical properties viz. dielectric
permittivity and electrical conductivity. Common practice is
to invert cross-hole radar data with ray-based tomographic
algorithms using first arrival traveltimes and first cycle
amplitudes. However, the resolution of conventional standard
ray-based inversion schemes for cross-hole
ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is limited because only a
fraction of the information contained in the radar data is
used. The resolution can be improved significantly by using
a full-waveform inversion that considers the entire
waveform, or significant parts thereof. A recently developed
2D time-domain vectorial full-waveform crosshole radar
inversion code has been modified in the present study by
allowing optimized acquisition setups that reduce the
acquisition time and computational costs significantly. This
is achieved by minimizing the number of transmitter points
and maximizing the number of receiver positions. The
improved algorithm was employed to invert cross-hole GPR
data acquired within a gravel aquifer (4-10 m depth) in the
Thur valley, Switzerland. The simulated traces of the final
model obtained by the full-waveform inversion fit the
observed traces very well in the lower part of the section
and reasonably well in the upper part of the section.
Compared to the ray-based inversion, the results from the
full-waveform inversion show significantly higher resolution
images. At either side, 2.5 m distance away from the
cross-hole plane, borehole logs were acquired. There is a
good correspondence between the conductivity tomograms and
the natural gamma logs at the boundary of the gravel layer
and the underlying lacustrine clay deposits. Using existing
petrophysical models, the inversion results and
neutron-neutron logs are converted to porosity. Without any
additional calibration, the values obtained for the
converted neutron-neutron logs and permittivity results are
very close and similar vertical variations can be observed.
The full-waveform inversion provides in both cases
additional information about the subsurface. Due to the
presence of the water table and associated
refracted/reflected waves, the upper traces are not well
fitted and the upper 2 m in the permittivity and
conductivity tomograms are not reliably reconstructed
because the unsaturated zone is not incorporated into the
inversion domain.},
