Surface along the GPR line shown below was very irregular so that apparent structure in the section below is often the result of relief across features in the surface sand dune complex.
![Page 10: Environmental and Exploration Geophysics II](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081519/568146a6550346895db3c37d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
GPR data is often collected by pulling the GPR unit across the surface. Subsurface scans are made at regular intervals, but since the unit is often pulled at varying speeds across the surface, the records are adjusted to portray constant spacing between records. This process s referred to as rubbersheeting.

We also expect to see decreased depth of penetration (i.e. increased attenuation) for higher frequency wavelets and components of the GPR signal.

MM&V activities cover a lot of ground
“MM&V is defined as the capability to measure the amount of CO2 stored at a specific sequestration site, monitor the site for leaks or other deterioration of storage integrity over time, and to verify that the CO2 is stored in a way that is permanent and not harmful to the host ecosystem…Subsurface MM&V involves tracking the fate of the CO2 within the geologic formations underlying the earth and possible migration to the surface.” - Sequestration Roadmap, 2004
