Frequency-domain helicopter-borne em survey for delineation of the 3D chloride distribution in Zeeland, the Netherlands
conference paper
In the project FRESHEM Zeeland the entire Province of Zeeland in the south-western part of the Netherlands was surveyed using frequency-domain helicopter-borne electromagnetics (FDHEM). The airborne survey of more than 9000 line-km was conducted in 2014-15 by the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). Together with the Dutch partners Deltares and TNO, an approach has been developed to translate the FDHEM data into a full 3D mapping of the chloride concentration of an area of about 1800 km². Verification with an independent dataset showed that groundwater salinity can be accurately calculated based on FDHEM measurements and a stochastic lithological model. Using indicator kriging as interpolation method turns out to be suitable to construct a 3D voxel model, revealing high resolution spatial patterns of groundwater salinity.
