In this framework, the Ice Memory project aims to extract and analyze ice cores from glacier regions worldwide and store them in Antarctica as a heritage record for future generations of scientists. Ice coring projects usually require a focused geophysical investigation, often based on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) prospecting to assess the most suitable drilling positions. As a novel approach in the Calderone Glacieret, we integrated the GPR method with Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (FDEM) surveys, a technique not commonly applied in the glacial environment. We used a separated-coils FDEM instrument to characterize the glacieret structure. The acquired FDEM datasets were inverted and compared to the GPR data and borehole information. The results demonstrated the capability of the FDEM technique to define the structure of the glacieret correctly; therefore, the potential to be applied in frozen subsoil environments. This opens new perspectives for the use of the FDEM technique to characterize periglacial environments, such as rock glaciers, where the coarse-blocky surface hinders data acquisition and enhances the problem of signal scattering.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15102615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]],"date-time":"2023-05-18T06:32:58Z","timestamp":1684391578000},"page":"2615","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Combining Ground Penetrating Radar and Frequency Domain Electromagnetic Surveys to Characterize the Structure of the Calderone Glacieret (Gran Sasso d\u2019Italia, Italy)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3548-1521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mirko","family":"Pavoni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, University of Padova, 35122 Padua, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8588-3962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacopo","family":"Boaga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences, University of Padova, 35122 Padua, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8633-1000","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alberto","family":"Carrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment, University of Padova, 35122 Legnaro, Italy"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Urbini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Dipartimento Ambiente, 35137 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Fabrizio","family":"de Blasi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Polar Sciences, National Research Council (CNR-ISP), 30100 Venice, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics, Ca\u2019 Foscari University of Venice, 30123 Venice, Italy"}]},{"given":"Jacopo","family":"Gabrieli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Polar Sciences, National Research Council (CNR-ISP), 30100 Venice, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics, Ca\u2019 Foscari University of Venice, 30123 Venice, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"32","article-title":"Il Ghiacciaio Del Calderone","volume":"57","author":"Pecci","year":"1997","journal-title":"Riv.
