Abstract
Summary: Non-contacting terrain conductivity meters can greatly assist geological mapping of sedimentary sequences. Case histories from varied geological settings show that clays and clay-rich sediments can be rapidly and effectively distinguished from sands, sandstones and limestones. It is concluded that conductivity methods improve mapping accuracy whilst saving time and effort.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
