Summary

This folder contains the raw and processed TEM data and inverted soundings showing resistivity (in ohm-m) with depth for all survey sites that were part of transect 9. In October and November 2016-2017, transient electromagnetic (TEM) data, also called time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys, were acquired at 120 locations in the Genesee Valley, Livingston County, in New York, in order to characterize the subsurface resistivity structure in support of a U.S. Geological Survey groundwater investigation. The TEM data were collected as part of a project to evaluate geophysical methods to characterize the valley-fill sediments, underlying bedrock, and salinity of the subsurface. TEM data were collected using an ABEM WalkTEM unit (acquisition [...]

Purpose

Surface geophysical methods can provide information for the characterization of the subsurface structure of the earth for aquifer investigations. Transient electromagnetic induction (TEM) surveys (also called time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys) provide resistivity soundings of the subsurface, which can be related to lithology and hydrogeology and be used to inform and/or constrain regional hydrogeological models.
