Abstract
We developed a floating TEM setup with a transmitter size of 18 x 18m2. Due to its modular design it can be handled by two operators and is easy to transport. As lacustrine sediments in maar lakes provide paleoclimatic proxy data, an extensive TEM survey at Lake Holzmaar (Eifel, Germany) was carried out to investigate the sediment thickness. The data collected can be explained well by means of three dimensional Finite Element Modelling.
