Abstract

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey was performed to investigate the 2006 pyroclastic deposits of Tungurahua volcano (Ecuador) in order to reveal the internal structures and the sedimentological characteristics of such environment. The GPR survey was performed by using a combination of three different shielded antennae of frequencies 250, 500 and 800 MHz, respectively, to give access to inner structures at different scales and depths. Additionally, a dense array of profiles (pseudo 3D profiles) with the 500 and 800 MHz antennas was performed at different locations. The objective of these data was to reconstruct the 3D structure of pyroclastic dune bedforms in order to understand their evolution and observe internal structural differences between bedforms with different surface morphologies.
