My research
work involves mapping and sounding subsurface hydrological and geological
structures in a planetary arid context using
radar imaging and probing techniques. I am mainly interested in two
potential applications. The first is to study the potential of low-frequency
orbital sounding and ground-penetrating radars for the exploration of
possible martian subsurface hydrological features as local water lenses
or aquifer systems. My studies include electromagnetic characterization
of Martian-like materials, numerical simulations of wave propagation
in geo-electrical models, GPR field surveys, and comparative planetology
studies.
The second point of interest concerns earth applications of low-frequency
radar remote sensing to study the paleo-enviroment of desertic regions.
