Multidisciplinary Geophysical Surveys in Agricultural Areas

Different types of high-resolution geophysical surveys have been applied for mapping two different agricultural sites in Hungary. Dunavecse location on the eastern side of river Danube is characterized by young river sediments of Danube. The other survey area at Őrbottyán geologically is a very different location, showing some elevation change and wind blown sediments on the surface. Several different geophysical technology has been applied during the surveys, including electrical resistivity profiles, EM mapping with 3 and 6 channel systems, magnetic survey, GPR and seismic mapping including high-resolution P- and S-wave profiling and GR measurements. Aerial imaging and measurement of very accurate surface elevations were also combined. Main results of both survey are are shown, combining information derived from the different geophysical surveys and also agricultural data, soil water content and temperature changes.
