Inversion of marine multifrequency electromagnetic profiling data: a new approach to resolve surficial sediment stratification

Electromagnetic induction (EMI) methods are widely used on land to map electric conductivity and/or magnetic susceptibility distributions of surficial sediments. In contrast, the application of these methods in marine environments is relatively novel. Based on the recently developed electromagnetic benthic profiler MARUM-NERIDIS III we investigate the potential of concentric-loop EMI methods to re...
