Exploitation of Limestone Quarries in Brazil with Depth Migrated Ground-Penetrating Radar Data

We present a methodology involving constant-offset Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) sections and their depth conversion using the Reverse Time Migration (RTM) method, in order to define the vertical limits and lateral continuity of the horizons of a calcrete profile, from which are produced blocks of dimension stones industrially known as Travertine Marble. It is possible to define the reflector between the hard material used in the industry and the unuseful chalky material. We also present correctly imaged caves and holes inside the carbonate material.
