Summary

Floating transient electromagnetic (FloaTEM) data were acquired on the Eel River during November 2018. During the survey, approximately 1.6 line-kilometers were collected in the Eel River, Falmouth, Massachusetts study area. Data were collected by members of the U.S. Geological Survey, Hydrogeophysics Branch, and New England Water Science Center. FloaTEM data acquired along the Eel River in Barnstable County, in Massachusetts, were collected to test a new continuous water-borne transient electromagnetic data collection platform, and to characterize the subsurface resistivity structure in support of a U.S. Geological Survey groundwater investigation of the Falmouth, Massachusetts area. FloaTEM data were collected using an Aarhus University [...]

Purpose

These data were collected to field test a new floating transient electromagnetic data collection system and contribute high-resolution information about subsurface geologic structure that can be used to delineate fresh-water/saline water contacts, delineate aquifer materials for water-resource investigations, and to inform hydrogeologic models.
