Repeated active seismic and GPR data for coastal permafrost in Hornsund

Repeated active geophysical data (seismic and GPR) collected along 2D profile in 2017 and 2018 to show dynamics of the coastal permafrost in Hornsund, Spitsbergen. High resolution seismic was obtained in dense 5 m spread for both shots and receivers. PEG-40 accelerated weight drop seismic source has been used on snowbike or cart. The data contains three standard segy files with verticaly sacked shotgathers, and standard GPR raw data with geometry files. For seismic data segy headers contain full geometry information. Additionaly, seismic geometry is provided as external txt files.
