f The Application Of Ground-Probing Radar To The Detection Of Hydrocarbon Contamination

Pending E.P.A. and D.0.T regulations concerning assessment,<br>monitoring, and correction of hydrocarbon contamination in the<br>petroleum and gas related industries are spurring renewed efforts<br>to bring forth new technologies to address these problems and issues.<br>Within the past decade, a family of surface and airborne<br>ground-probing radars were developed which were generally<br>tailored for subsurface geological exploration and mapping.<br>Within the past two years, however, at least one radar system has<br>been successfully employed to detect hydrocarbons.
