The application of ground conductivity measurements to geological mapping

J. A. Zalasiewicz, S. J. Mathers & J. D. Cornwell

British Geological Survey, Nicker Hill, Keyworth, Notts. NG12 5GG

Non-contacting terrain conductivity meters can greatly assist geological mapping of sedimentary sequences. Case histories from varied geological settings show that clays and clay-rich sediments can be rapidly and effectively distinguished from sands, sandstones and limestones. It is concluded that conductivity methods improve mapping accuracy whilst saving time and effort.
