8. Lenz's Law
• When an emf is generated by a change in magnetic flux according to
Faraday's Law, the polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a
current whose magnetic field opposes the change which produces it.
30. DIGHEM-VRES
•The DIGHEM-VRES is a 5-coplanar system with frequencies of 380 Hz, 1400 Hz, 6200
Hz, 25,000 Hz, and 101 000 Hz (the highest HEM frequency commercially available!). It
is a system designed to provide the optimum conductivity mapping range and resolution
for horizontally layered geology. With a full 7.9 m coil separation on all frequencies it is
the optimum system for geologic mapping and many environmental and engineering type
problems.

34. TEMPEST- Digital Time Domain
Electromagnetics
• TEMPESTs fixed wing configuration makes it cost
effective for large scale reconnaissance projects, where
ground and helicopter EM surveys would be prohibitively
expensive. The quality detail and accuracy of TEMPEST
data reveals geological and structural information that
cannot be matched by other airborne techniques.

38. GEOTEM
• Fugro Airborne Surveys operates three GEOTEM aircraft out of bases in Perth, Australia and
Ottawa, Canada. However, these systems have operated on five continents, in just about every
climate and geological/geographical environment. Survey targets have ranged from mineral
deposits and petroleum reservoirs to groundwater resources.
