A very quick bit of reading tells me that SHARAD has avertical resolution of 15 to 20 meters. The electrical ( and hence radar) properties of water are different from those of ice so at a very very ill informed guess I'd say that SHARAD probably could distinguish between the two. So assuming my guess is near the mark the question is what is the vertical extent of these possible aquifers?
