Problem statement. Deep penetration radar (DPR) allows one to easily explore, in a non-disruptive way, the range of depths characteristic for the development of dangerous geological processes. DPR makes it possible to receive continuous information about the state of the geological environment to the depths up to several hundred meters, with a step of tens of cm, Results. The report provides the most demanded areas of DPR application, based on about 25 years of experience in geophysical surveys. The examples of experimental data interpretation: detection of characteristic geological structures and assessment of environmental parameters, based on theoretical models, are presented.

Practical importance. The authors have accumulated an extensive experience in GPR research for the needs of geological exploration and engineering geology.
