Predicting Stratigraphy at Landfill Sites Using Electromagnetics

Source

Stratigraphic mapping has been done at several landfill sites using a statistical method of electromagnetic (EM) data interpretation which correlates the stratum depth with EM data at boreholes. The mathematical relationship developed by multivariate regression analysis is then used to predict stratigraphy at EM survey points. This method of Multivariate Regression-Prediction (MVRP) has been used successfully at a number of landfill sites for subsurface sand channel delineation, paleokarstic feature locations, and stratigraphic mapping between boreholes. MVRP results are in terms of depth or thickness, and do not require further data reduction.
