Simulating the GPR response to terrestrial lava tubes can provide valuable insight for planning planetary data collection missions. In this study, we simulate the GPR response to two lava tubes at Lava Beds National Monument, CA, USA, assuming soil/rock/regolith properties expected for the surface of Earth, Mars, and the Moon.
