Company Logo Introduction EM38 has been produced by Geonics. ( EM38 is mainly used in agriculture, environmental, archaeology. EM38 is easy to apply and carry during data acquisitions. EM-38
Company Logo Equipment EM-38
Company Logo Theory Described by McNeil (1980) Step 1: An alternating current in the transmitting coil creates a time-varying magnetic field which is sensed by the receiving coil. Step2: This primary magnetic field (Hp) generates small electric currents in the soil. Step3: These currents generate a secondary magnetic field (Hs) which is also measured by the receiving coil. Step 4: The apparent conductivity may be determined from the ratio of the magnetic fields by the relationship. EM-38

Company Logo EM-38 specifications Frequency= 14.6 kHz T-R distance=1 m Horizontal and vertical dipoles EM-38 h=0.75m h= 1.5m Effective depth ranges Measured quantities: Measured quantities: 1)Apparent conductivities (mS/m) 2)In phase ratio of the secondary to primary magnetic field in parts per thousand (ppt)
Company Logo EM38 Apparent Conductivity Fixed frequency: f=14.6 kHz Fixed coil spacing: s=1 m Apparent conductivity (B=s/ << 1): H p primary field H s secondary field skin depth EM-38
Company Logo Interpretation EM-38 *Apparent conductivity map since the depth range is very shallow. depth range is very shallow. *Forward and Inverse modeling (Hilgendorf, 1997) and (Deidda et al., 2003)
Company Logo Case Study (Simpson et al 2008) EM-38
Company Logo …continued EM38 EM38DD provides simultaneous measurement of both (vertical and horizontal) dipoles at all times.
Company Logo Case Study EM-38
Company Logo Conclusion EM-38 EM38 can be applied to archealogy. EM38 can quickly be carried out on a field. EM38 provides information about underground no more than 1.5 m depth.
