Funded Activity Summary
Accurately locating the depth and distribution of saline waters with improved shallow conductivity sounding using broadcast radio transmissions. Conductivity meters such as the EM31 are in routine use for mapping shallow salinity, but provide no depth information. This research will provide methodology using broadcast radio transmissions to additionally provide the depth information needed to interpret shallow layering and inhomogeneity. Instruments will initially be tested on the ground, but are ultimately intended to be applied from the air, where existing systems have no resolution in the top 5 m. The method will provide crucial root-zone data for precision agriculture in salt-affected areas, and address accurate salt mapping issues in the major efforts to combat Australia's salinity problems.Funded Activity Details
