ABSTRACT: Time Domain Electromagnetic (TEM) methods have long been used for hydrogeological studies. Investigations into hydrostratigraphic units are common because of the ability to map aquifer properties based on grain size, which is commonly related to electrical conductivity contrasts in the subsurface. This investigation showcases the use of Geonics Ltd.’s G-TEM system in a mobile acquisition setup for waterborne TEM. The survey aimed to map the continuity and composition of a conductive glacial clay till unit underlying a surficial water body. Variations in the clay till may indicate zones of interest for possible hydrogeological pathways. Preliminary results showed variability in depth to both the top and base of the clay till. These variations may suggest a connection between structures in the deep underlying units and the glacially deposited clay till unit. Results from the GTEM compared favourably to previously acquired ground TEM surveys.
