Understanding moisture dynamics in the shallow subsurface is important for irrigation, natural biological and chemical processes, and climate modeling. Ground-penetrating radar is a common tool for mapping and measuring soil water content distribution, but traditional methodologies are not applicable in clay soils, sites with brackish or saline pore water, or at sites where there are no interfaces in the subsurface off of which the radar signal can reflect.
