Our group (we are zoologists focusing on animal orientation) is considering buying a georadar to map the tunnels of subterranean mammals. We would like to study the position and direction of the tunnel networks of animals of various sizes (from voles to bigger animals such as ground squirrels, i.e., tunnels with various diameter in various depths) living in various types of soils and environments. When we received the visualization of our trial measurement of voles tunnels on the field, we were, however, a bit sceptical whether this is a suitable method (difficult to discern what is a tunnel and what some other anomaly such as rocks etc.).

  • Any tips, tricks or experience with using georadar in animal ecology?
  • How to get the most precise visualization of the networks?
  • Would you recommend to use the 750 or 450 mHz antenna?
  • Thanks!
