Application of electromagnetic techniques to subsurface exploration

Abstract

This work explores in depth the basis of the electrodynamic induction method and uses it to characterize the electrical conductivity of the ground in a contaminated area near Òdena (Catalunya, Spain). This work aims to evaluate the viability of this method. The process involves collecting and analysing apparent conductivity data using CMD Mini Explorer, inverting them using EMagPy software, and plotting them using Surfer. By comparing different measurements with the available studies of the area, it is possible to characterize it and reliably identify the anomalies and their trends
