Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) data can be inverted to recover models of the electrical resistivity of the subsurface; these, in turn, can be transformed to obtain models of sediment type. AEM data were acquired in Butte and Glenn Counties, California, USA to improve the understanding of the aquifer system. Around 800 line-kilometers of high-quality data were acquired, imaging to a depth of ∼300 m. We developed a workflow designed to obtain, from the AEM data, information about the large-scale structure and heterogeneity of the aquifer system to better understand the vertical connectivity. Using six different inversions incorporating various forms of available information and posterior sampling of the recovered resistivity models, we produced 6,006 resistivity models. These models were transformed to models of sediment type and estimates of percentage of sand/gravel. Exploring the model space, containing the resistivity models and the derived models, allowed us to delineate the large-scale structure of the aquifer system in a way that captures and communicates the uncertainty in the identified sediment type. The uncertainty increased, as expected, with depth, but also served to indicate, as areas of high uncertainty in sediment type, the location of both large-scale and small-scale interfaces between sediment types. A plan view map of the integrated percentage of sand/gravel, when compared to existing hydrographs, revealed the extent of lateral changes in vertical connectivity within the aquifer system throughout the study area.

探索机载电磁数据的模型空间以描绘含水层系统内的大尺度结构和非均质性

机载电磁 (AEM) 数据可以反演以恢复地下电阻率模型;反过来,这些可以转换以获得沉​​积物类型的模型。AEM 数据是在美国加利福尼亚州的 Butte 和 Glenn 县获得的,以提高对含水层系统的了解。获得了大约 800 行公里的高质量数据,成像深度约为 300 m。我们开发了一个工作流程,旨在从 AEM 数据中获取有关含水层系统的大规模结构和异质性的信息,以更好地了解垂直连通性。使用六种不同的反演结合各种形式的可用信息和恢复的电阻率模型的后验采样,我们生成了 6,006 个电阻率模型。这些模型被转换为沉积物类型模型和沙子/砾石百分比估计值。探索包含电阻率模型和派生模型的模型空间,使我们能够以捕获和传达已识别沉积物类型的不确定性的方式描绘含水层系统的大尺度结构。正如预期的那样,不确定性随着深度的增加而增加,但也表明,作为沉积物类型高度不确定的区域,沉积物类型之间的大尺度和小尺度界面的位置。与现有水文过程线相比,砂/砾石综合百分比的平面图揭示了整个研究区域内含水层系统内垂直连通性的横向变化程度。包含电阻率模型和派生模型,使我们能够以捕获和传达已识别沉积物类型的不确定性的方式描绘含水层系统的大尺度结构。正如预期的那样,不确定性随着深度的增加而增加,但也表明,作为沉积物类型高度不确定的区域,沉积物类型之间的大尺度和小尺度界面的位置。与现有水文过程线相比,砂/砾石综合百分比的平面图揭示了整个研究区域含水层系统内垂直连通性的横向变化程度。包含电阻率模型和派生模型,使我们能够以捕获和传达已识别沉积物类型的不确定性的方式描绘含水层系统的大尺度结构。正如预期的那样,不确定性随着深度的增加而增加,但也表明,作为沉积物类型高度不确定的区域,沉积物类型之间的大尺度和小尺度界面的位置。与现有水文过程线相比,砂/砾石综合百分比的平面图揭示了整个研究区域含水层系统内垂直连通性的横向变化程度。正如预期的那样,随着深度,但也有助于表明,作为沉积物类型高度不确定的区域,沉积物类型之间的大尺度和小尺度界面的位置。与现有水文过程线相比,砂/砾石综合百分比的平面图揭示了整个研究区域内含水层系统内垂直连通性的横向变化程度。正如预期的那样,随着深度,但也有助于表明,作为沉积物类型高度不确定的区域,沉积物类型之间的大尺度和小尺度界面的位置。与现有水文过程线相比,砂/砾石综合百分比的平面图揭示了整个研究区域含水层系统内垂直连通性的横向变化程度。
