Abstract
This record contains the raw Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) data and scanned field notes collected on fieldwork at Adelaide Metropolitan Beaches, South Australia for the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC Project, Resilience to Clustered Disaster Events on the Coast - Storm Surge. The data was collected from 16-19 February 2015 using a MALA ProEx GPR system with 250 MHz shielded, 100 MHz unshielded and 50 MHz unshielded antennaes. The aim of the field work was to identify and define a minimum thickness for the beach and dune systems, and where possible depth to any identifiable competent substrate (e.g. bedrock) or pre-Holocene surface which may influence the erosion potential of incident wave energy. Surface elevation data was co-acquired and used to topographically correct the GPR profiles. This dataset is published with the permission of the CEO, Geoscience Australia.

Lineage
Data was collected between the 16-19 February 2015 using a MALA GPR system with 250 MHz shielded, 100 MHz unshielded and 50 MHz unshielded antennae frequency respectively. GPR survey lines and elevations were co-acquired using a NovAtel SMART6-L Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver that recorded location measurements at one per 4 seconds or better. Due to the inherent inaccuracy introduced by the backpack GPS receiver setup, and the resultant inability to maintain a consistent distance or height with respect to the antenna, differential correction of GPS measurements was not attempted. Accordingly all elevation and location coordinates are relative. The data in this product is raw and unprocessed with each survey line containing the following files: -.add, a text file containing settings of the MALA XV monitor during acquisition, -.cor, a text file containing co-acquired GPS data, -.rad, a text file containing acquisition settings of the GPR, -.rd3, MALA Geoscience proprietary RAMAC GPR data file.
