dc.description.abstractNaturally occurring radio emissions from discrete sferics in the frequency range 500 Hz to 30 kHz have the potential for shallow conductivity profiling beneath the surface of the earth. A dual-channel time-domain receiver was constructed and used over selected geophysical targets. The instrumentation was validated through a comparison with very low-frequency surface impedance measurements from a distant navigation transmitter and 2-D modeling using the impedance method. The multifrequency results were then verified using this 2-D modeling. The skin effect shows the frequency dependence of electromagnetic field strength dissipation as a signal enters a multilayered earth. Single-frequency methods offer fixed depth conductivity profiles whereas multiple frequencies reveal multiple depth conductivity profiles that can help with 3-D modeling of subsurface features and anomalies. Several electromagnetic techniques offer multiple-frequency operation capitalizing upon this effect however these techniques generally use a local artificial signal source, which leads to near-field distortion effects in the measured data. This method shows significant promise for cost-effective, high-speed, ground-level surface impedance measurements targeting subsurface features down to 100 m.
