Editorial for the Special Issue "Review of Application Areas of GPR".

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) started as a radio echo sounding technology during the second half of the last century, but it is now a well-established and widely adopted technology for producing high-resolution images of subsurface. Novel processing schemes, including full waveform inversion and machine learning, advanced GPR transmission, and elastic wave methods, are among the research topics regarded as fundamental for the future. By taking into account the UWB nature of GPR methodology, as well as the experienced inefficiencies in traditional design solutions, this paper provides a robust ground for evaluating the optimal choice for GPR system design.
