In this paper, we discuss the results of laboratory tests and field surveys using ground penetrating radar (GPR) method to detect qanats at the main campus of Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman (SBUK), Iran. The main purpose of laboratory experiments was to explore the optimum frequency of GPR surveys to detect qanats for the subsoil in the study site. We performed a variety of laboratory tests with a 3 GHz antenna to detect...

Inversion of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data is an ill-posed problem that is usually solved through deterministic gradient-based methods. These methods guarantee a fast convergence but hinder accurate assessments of model uncertainties. On the contrary, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms can be employed for accurate uncertainty appraisals, but they remain a formidable computational task due to the many for...
