Pilot Study of Helicopter airborne geophysical time-domain electromagnetics (EM) survey has been carried out over an area of 10 km2×18 km2 in Al Khazna site north of Al A’in city in 2002. The main objective of the survey was to determine the capabilities of the airborne EM survey with respect to mapping the conductivity variation of the different sedimentary units, to see if the EM data could define the aquifer horizon for the direct detection of water-bearing formations and to try and use the data to map the salinity in the region.
