Summary

Surface geophysical tools remotely sense hydrogeological properties that can control subsurface flow and water quality. There are numerous geophysical tools, for the Quashnet River work we have principally used ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic imaging (EMI). The instruments are either hand carried or floated down the stream channel and other cross-sections of the river corridor. Data from various field deployments of GPR and EMI are described and presented here.

Purpose

There are multiple purposes for which this data has been collected, though they all relate to the characterization of physical groundwater/surface water exchange processes. Surface geophysical data are typically used to spatially map shallow geologic structure and pore water electrical conductivity.
