Abstract
ABSTRACT. In 2016, the Laboratory for Research in Applied Geophysics (LPGA), at the Federal University of Paraná, in partnership with the Federal Police of the State of Paraná and the University of Brasília built a Forensic Geophysics Controlled Site (FGCS-UFPR) to calibration of the applied geophysical method and strengthen forensic sciences in the State of Paraná. In the FGCS, several objects that simulate forensic, archaeological and paleontological targets were installed at extremely shallow depths. The materials were covered with clayey soil, typical of the region, and in some pits, fine sandy sediments were deposited. This study aims to verify the 2D and 3D responses of the ground penetrating radar (GPR) method applied to targets installed in the FGCS, in a post-precipitation period. In the acquisition of GPR data, a 700 MHz shielded antenna was used, with parallel 2D profiles and spaced 0.1 meters. The results indicated that the high clay content present in the soil, below 0.5 meters deep, caused a high attenuation of the electromagnetic signal and defined patterns of reflectors associated with the targets, excavations and the investigated environment. Thus, only targets with high electrical impedance were visualized in 2D and 3D GPR images.Keywords: ground penetrating radar, clay soil, targets, forensic sciences, archaeogeophysics. Análise dos resultados 2D e 3D de GPR no Sitio Controlado de Geofísica Forense da UFPRRESUMO. Em 2016, o Laboratório de Pesquisas em Geofísica Aplicada (LPGA), da Universidade Federal do Paraná, em parceria com a Polícia Federal do Paraná e a Universidade de Brasília, instalou um Sítio Controlado de Geofísica Forense (SCGF-UFPR) para a calibração do método geofísico aplicado e o fortalecimento das ciências forenses no Estado do Paraná. No SCGF foram instalados, em profundidades extremamente rasas, diversos objetos que simulam alvos forenses, arqueológicos e paleontológicos. Os materiais foram recobertos com solos argilosos, típicos da região, e em algumas cavas foram depositados sedimentos arenosos finos. Este estudo objetiva a verificação das respostas 2D e 3D do método radar de penetração no solo (GPR) aplicada aos alvos instalados no SCG, em um período pós-precipitação pluviométrica. Nas aquisições de dados de GPR foi aplicada a antena blindada de 700 MHz, com perfis 2D paralelos e equiespaçados em 0,1 metro. Os resultados indicaram que o alto teor de argila presente no solo, abaixo de 0,5 metro de profundidade, causou uma elevada atenuação do sinal eletromagnético e definiu-se padrões de refletores associados aos alvos, as escavações e ao meio investigado. Assim, apenas os alvos com alta impedância elétrica foram visualizados nas imagens GPR 2D e 3D.Palavras-chave: ground penetrating radar, solo argiloso, artefatos, ciência forense, arqueogeofísica.
