Abstract

High resolution airborne electromagnetic surveys with the SGFEM four-frequency, wing-tip system have been used successfully for many environmental and engineering applications. The horizontal-dipole, coplanar coil orientation optimizes lateral resolution for targets perpendicular to the flight direction, giving sharper anomalies than vertical-dipole, coplanar systems flown at lower altitudes. Examples of engineering applications include groundwater flow from anisotropy (unique to horizontalaxis transmitter systems) in Texas, landfill sites in Finland, and groundwater and coastal salinity mapping in Ireland.
