Abstract
Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a geophysical technique based on the propagation of electromagnetic waves (EM) in the ground, which is largely controlled by the spatial distribution of water content. GPR profiles were acquired in an ombrotrophic peatland located in nothern Québec. Interpretation and validation have been performed with a 10 m trench and the loss-on-ignition analyses. Three main stratigraphic layers were correlated with the GPR profiles: (a) the organic/mineral contact; (b) the fen-bog transition and (c) post-Little Ice Age accumulation.
