Frequency domain electromagnetic induction (EMI) data collected within and adjacent to the Little Wind River, Riverton, WY, USA

Description

The electrical conductivity of the earth is used to help infer lithological and pore fluid properties. Various geophysical methods can provide estimates of the distribution of below ground electrical conductivity, with each method having certain limitations. This data release presents raw and processed results from land-based and water-based frequency domain electromagnetic induction (EMI) data collected from August 23, 2017 to August 28, 2017. The raw data consist of .csv files from the Geophex GEM-2 unit. Data were primarily collected by walking with the instrument at approximately 1 m off the ground in horizontal coplanar (ski flat) mode. A survey along a section of the Little Wind River in a kayak (with about 0.3 m of elevation above the water surface) was also collected.
