1 ttem - Et nyt instrument til ekstrem detaljeret kortlægning af den overfladenære geologi til geotekniske undersøgelser, grundvandsbeskyttelse og landbrug Esben Auken, Jesper B. Pedersen, Anders V. Christiansen, Nikolaj Foged og Troels Norvin Vilhelmsen HydroGeophysics Group, Department of Geoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark

2 Outline Why do we need a new geophysical method? Some of the technical details Examples

3 Why is it relevant? Identification of management areas

4 What do we measure? Resistivity depends on: Sediment type sand or clay Ioncontent of the porewater Porosity Resistivity of different geological units 10 Paleogen clay Marine clay 20 Silt Till Saturated sand with clay/silt Saturated sand or gravel Unsaturated sand or gravel

5 Possibilities SkyTEM Fast, verified, effective Large footprint, missing details in the nearsurface

6 Possibilities SkyTEM Fast, verified, effective Large footprint, missing details in the near surface MEP / ERT Many details, verified In-effective

7 Possibilities SkyTEM Fast, verified, effective Large footprint, missing details in the near surface MEP / ERT Many details, verified In-effective PACES Effective, many details, complicated in the field Too small depth of investigation

8 Possibilities SkyTEM Fast, verified, effective Large footprint, missing details in the nearsurface MEP / ERT Many details, verified In-effective PACES Effective, many details, complicated in the field Too small depth of investigation GCM Effective, many details Too small depth of investigation

9 Sensitivities 5 μs 5 μs

10 The ttem system Technical details Measurement takes a few milliseconds 3-10 meters lateral resolution Depth of investigation 0-70 meters High-resolution in upper 30 meters Mapping details km/hour ~ 3-5 m/s Line distance is typically meters (driving tracks distance) Coverage is hectares per day

11 Results: Comparison of 2D sensitivities 5 μs 5 μs
