  •  Scientific relevance

  •  Societal relevance

  •  Application in technology

  •  Innovation

  •  Creativity

  •  Style

 The committee will select a single paper which will receive the Young  Scientist Best Paper Award of the GPR2006 conference from the chair of the selection committee.

EuroGPR Award

"EuroGPR, the European Association of GPR Users and Manufacturers (www.eurogpr.org) is offering a prize for the best application paper presented to GPR 2006 in Columbus, Ohio. The prize is a case of wine from the award winning Tiltridge Vineyard (www.tiltridge.com) which will be shipped to the winners nominated address following the conference. The paper can be either a poster or a verbal presentation but must demonstrate the application of GPR technology to a commercial problem. Pure research papers are not eligible.

 The EuroGPR Applied Technology Award was first introduced at the Delft conference in 2004 where that year's judges, Richard Chignell, David Daniels, Steven Koppenjan and David Noon, chose a paper describing the role of GPR in establishing and maintaining ice roads across the Antartic Ice cap as the winner. In their paper "Crevasse Detection with GPR across the Ross Ice Shelf, Antartica", the authors demonstrated that GPR was a reliable means of detecting and characterizing the size and nature of crevasses.  Regular monitoring of the changing conditions below the ice surface made  it possible to maintain a safe route across the ice and monitoring by GPR made the project economically viable.

Allen Delaney and Steve Arcone of the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory in Alaska and Allen O'Bannon and John Wright of Raytheon Polar Services in Colorado were presented with a case of Tiltridge's "Elgar"  wine at the Conference Banquet."
