The LASI high-frequency electromagnetic subsurface-imaging system: System description and demonstration site-characterization survey at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory

A high-frequency, high-resolution, electromagnetic imaging system has been developed for environmental geophysics surveys. Some key features include: (1) rapid surveying to allow dense spatial sampling over a large area, (2) high-accuracy measurements which are used to produce a high-resolution image of the subsurface, (3) measurements which have excellent signal-to-noise ratio over a wide bandwidth (31 kHz to 32 MHz), (4) large-scale physical modeling to produce accurate theoretical responses over targets of interest in environmental geophysics surveys, (5) rapid neural network interpretation at the field site, and (6) visualization of complex structures during the survey. A field survey was conducted at INEL, Nov. 28-Dec. 1, 1995, over the Cold Test Pit, which simulates waste pits at INEL and other DOE sites
