Abstract
The objective of this component of the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) Project MR-2409 was to conduct field measurements to aid in the determination of the electromagnetic induction (EMI) response to the water column and underlying sediments in the York River estuary, which includes water column and sediment properties similar to many underwater environments of interest to unexploded ordinance detection. Data and samples from a standard suite of hydrographic and sedimentological measurements, as well as electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility, were collected and analyzed for each location. These cruises provided opportunities to obtain information that is being used to quantify the unique marine contributions to the early time TEM noise, including conductivity variations in the water and variability in bottom sediment properties in real marine environments, for use in the parallel modeling and electromagnetic-induction sensor work ongoing in the same project. Data collected during Year 1 (2014) of this project were used to select the appropriate locations to provide a range of conductivity and sediment conditions. This work was used to choose appropriate locations during Year 2 (2016) of this project, described in this report, to field-test the EMI sensor arrays. (Note that there was a delay of several months between the end of Year 1 work and the start of Year 2 work. Thus the Year 2 final report is dated more than 12 months after the Year 1 final report.)
