ELECTROMAGNETIC METHOD

In most EM surveying the wavelength is longer than the area under investigation cannot exploit wave nature (except with GPR)At low frequency conductivity is the important

parameterAt high frequency dielectric permittivity and magnetic

permeability are more important

Dielectric permittivity measures the ability of a material to store charge εr=ε/ε0

Magnetic permeability measures the ability of a material to become magnetized μr=μ/μ0

ELECTROMAGNETIC METHOD

• AC current is produced in a source coil• Generates a magnetic primary field (Ampere’s law)• This generates a corresponding electric field (Faraday's

law)• Ohm’s law changes this current due to encountered

resistance• These Eddy current produce a secondary magnetic field

(Ampere’s law) which are recorded together with the primary field in a receiver coil

• The measurement separates primary and secondary fields (FDEM, TDEM)

• Sounding versus profiling

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR

• Radio detection and ranging (location)

• Range from a few cm (wall thickness), probing planets

• GPR first used to study glaciers

• Popular in engineering and archaeology since 1980s

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR

Radar waves mostly travel with (or close to) the speed of light Short propagation times (1 m / 3*10^8 m/s = 3 ns)Wavelength in granite (1.3*10^8 m/s / 200 MHz = 0.65 m)

Acoustic wave 1 m / 300 m/s = 3 msSeismic P wave 5000 m/s / 10 Hz =500 m

Display similar to a seismic reflection sectionSame processing (common midpoint stacking, migration)Difficulty to see under high conductivity medium

GROUND PENETRATING RADAR

In dry sand the radar wave velocity is 0.15 m/ns

Compared to a P-wave velocity of 200-1000 m/s

The refection coefficient for vertical incidence is (V2-V1)/(V2+V1)

Layers of the order λ/4 can typically be resolved

λ @ 1 GHz = 10 cm λ @ 100 MHz = 100 cm
