This is illustrated in the Luxembourg Sandstone Formation, which has been altered diagenetically by selective carbonate cementation and fracturing. Cemented lenses and concretions developed along the bedding planes, especially at places with high primary carbonate content. Cementation resulted in the alternation of cemented carbonate-rich sandy layers (thickness 30–50 cm and variable length) and uncemented carbonate-poor sandstone layers. The ability of GPR to detect the geometry of these lenses and vertical fractures with centimetre apertures has been tested at several antenna frequencies (100, 200, 250 and 500 MHz). Relative dielectric permittivity calculations were carried out to assess variations of this electric property within the cemented and uncemented layers as a function of porosity, calcite and water content in the pores. Two-dimensional full waveform modelling was also carried out to study the effect of conductivity in the sandstones and the effect of interlayer clay seams. At the penetration depth of the radar (7 m with 250 MHz), cemented lenses and concretions could only be detected with GPR when the porosity contrast was sufficiently high, which is not always the case. This conclusion is supported by the modelling. The data also proved the ability of radar to detect large open vertical fractures along which sandstones are weathered. The study has implications for investigations which will use GPR to detect three-dimensional distribution of diagenetic pore filling precipitates as well as secondary porosity development along fractures. 000061723 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK407$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aTerrestrische Umwelt$$cP24$$x0 000061723 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000061723 65320 $$2Author$$adiagenesis 000061723 65320 $$2Author$$afractures 000061723 65320 $$2Author$$aground-penetrating radar 000061723 65320 $$2Author$$amodelling 000061723 65320 $$2Author$$asandstone architecture 000061723 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB75017$$aGrégoire, C.$$b1$$uFZJ 000061723 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB75018$$aSwennen, R.$$b2$$uFZJ 000061723 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)VDB54976$$aLambot, S.$$b3$$uFZJ 000061723 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2020955-1$$a10.1111/j.1365-3091.2007.00868.x$$gVol. 54, p. 949 - 967$$p949 - 967$$q54<949 - 967$$tSedimentology$$v54$$x0037-0746$$y2007 000061723 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:61723$$pVDB 000061723 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0010$$aJCR/ISI refereed 000061723 9141_ $$aNachtrag$$y2007 000061723 9131_ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK407$$bErde und Umwelt$$kP24$$lTerrestrische Umwelt$$vTerrestrische Umwelt$$x0 000061723 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)VDB793$$d31.10.2010$$gICG$$kICG-4$$lAgrosphäre$$x1 000061723 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)97201 000061723 980__ $$aVDB 000061723 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000061723 980__ $$ajournal 000061723 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118 000061723 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000061723 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)IBG-3-20101118
