Terrence: From what I understand, the bulk of SHARAD’s research so far has been to look for buried water/ice. I am unaware of anyone doing what you suggest. At the same time, the results from SHARAD have not been given a lot of press, so this unawareness could simply be my ignorance.

It is a ground radar instrument with a resolution of 15 meters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHARAD). Has any tried to use its data to look for lava tubes around mars volcanoes?

Hopefully they are doing great things in space or are almost ready too. Very cool for kids that young to be able to request this image.
