Abstract :
To reveal what is hidden under the surface of the Earth such as gas, oil or mineral, magnetism, seismic waves, and electrical differences have been utilized. Geophysical reconnaissance methodologies can be classified into two categories. The first one makes use of natural fields of the Earth and the other requires the input into the ground of artificially generated energy. This paper focuses on a depth sounding method based on artificial magnetic variation. Frequency-based depth exploration is a method of measuring the electromagnetic field variation of the magnetic or electronic dipoles and studying the generated electric current and the dependence the electromagnetic field on frequency. We build a simulation tool for solving the forward problem of electromagnetic frequency sounding. It allows us to detect changes in the conductivity with respect to the Earth´s shell depth versus electromagnetic measurement at one place on the Earth. This study is applicable in the fields of fuel exploration, useful minerals as well as engineering geology and hydrogeology.
