GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR INVESTIGATIONALONG PINJORE GARDEN FAULT: IMPLICATIONTOWARD IDENTIFICATION OF SHALLOWSUBSURFACE DEFORMATION ALONG ACTIVEFAULT, NW HIMALAYA (2007)

A total of 24 m Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) profiles acquired across the 6 m high Pinjore Garden Fault(PGF) scarp with 200 MHz antenna, yielded highresolution subsurface image with penetration depthup to 6 m.With this attempt we suggest that the GPR technique can be a useful tool in mapping theshallow subsurface geometry and in locating the nearsurface faults displacing young Quaternary sediments in the Himalayan foothill zone.
