Abstract. Determining the possibilities of using the ground penetrating radar method, which is a method of shallow geophysics, in seismically active areas will increase the information content and reliability of the results, especially in engineering and geological surveys to ensure seismic-resistant construction in geodynamically active areas, which include Kamchatka. To optimize the ground penetrating radar method, it is necessary to compare and analyze the results of observations in various geological conditions. Since the ground penetrating radar method has been intensively developing in recent years, theoretical research in the field of data processing must be illustrated by numerous examples of the practical use of ground penetrating radars at various research sites. The purpose of the research is to create a scientific and methodological basis for the georadar method in relation to Kamchatka, including methods for processing and interpreting data, taking into account practical experience of application at various sites. The object of the research is the geological features and soil conditions of the territory of the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city, requiring clarification and detailed study. The article describes the experience and features of working with the «PYTHON-3» georadar device in the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city. Some results of ground penetrating radar profiling are characterized. Recommended values of measurement parameters during work are given. Georadar «PYTON-3» – geophysical equipment for radar subsurface probing. This georadar is informative for research at great depths when solving geological problems in the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city. It is worth considering that the information content of the upper part of the probed environment is lost (smaller geological structures may not be detected). For an accurate interpretation of the resulting radargrams, it is necessary to use information about the geological structure of the territory under study.

Key words: Kamchatka, the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky city, georadar, the GPR method, radargrams, data processing.
