2009 HEM Poster
Preliminary Results from Helicopter Electromagnetic Surveys Over a Paleovalley Aquifer in Eastern Nebraska. This poster summarizes some of the HEM data collected in 2009. The poster was presented at the 2009 Geological Society of America Annual Meeting in Portland, OR.
2006 to 2009 Videos and 3D views
Water Vision - Mapping Eastern Nebraska Aquifers with the Heliborne Electromagnetic Survey
Ashland Pilot Site 2006.
This video shows inverted HEM data from the Ashland pilot study site. The white areas are where data has been removed to provide a cross-sectional view. The starting viewpoint is to the north. The Todd Valley is represented by red in the upper left hand corner and the glacial till uplands near Gretna by blue in the upper right hand corner.
Firth Pilot Site 2007. This video shows the Firth voxel model generated from inverted HEM data. Red zones are areas having resistivity values greater than or equal to 80 ohm-meters. The semi-transparent layer represents ground surface, and the black columns represent test holes. The starting viewpoint is to the northwest. The two red areas likely correspond to the edges of a paleovalley aquifer.
Oakland Pilot Site 2007. This video the Oakland voxel model generated from inverted HEM data. Red zones are areas having resistivity values greater than or equal to 80 ohm-meters. The semi-transparent layer represents ground surface, and the black columns represent test holes. The starting viewpoint is to the north. The red swath coincides with sand and gravels associated with Logan Creek.
