Abstract. We combine geophysical observations from ground-penetrating radar (GPR) with regolith physical and chemical properties pedons excavated in four study areas spanning 1300 km of the climate ecological gradient Chilean Coastal Cordillera. Our aims are following: (1) to relate GPR depth-varying weathering-related adjacent (2) evaluate lateral extent which these can be extrapolated along a hillslope using observations. Physical considered include bulk density grain size distribution,...
Abstract To unequivocally discover the actual presence of life or even near surface liquid water on extraterrestrial planetary bodies would be a key scientific breakthrough for humankind. For this reason, studying similar environments Earth is essential to understanding processes shaping such objects. The Yungay area in Chilean part Atacama Desert deemed particularly suitable as terrestrial analog Mars (TAM). In study, we deployed multi‐frequency ground penetrating radar (GPR) and six‐coil...
