Abstract
GPR method used for the study of subsurface structural boundaries in landscapes of the marginal zone of the Valdai glaciation and landscapes of secondary moraine plains of Smolensk-Moscow hills. Change of parameters of GPR sounding give the possibility to study the hierarchy of structures in the landscape. Continuous scanning of the spatial three-dimensional structure of soils and sediments resulted in the identification and bind in GIS palaeo-frost cracks in cover loam and buried fluvioglacial deposits in gullies flow of glacial meltwater. Once again the method of subsurface sounding GPR method convincingly demonstrated that the geological and geomorphological basis plays a leading role in the differentiation of the structural units of landscapes and types of vegetation conditions
