Abstract: The possibilities and limitations of the induction sounding (TEM method) in the permafrost zone for solving hydrogeological problems are described. On the one hand the fresh water promising layer must have increased electrical resistivity (sand layer in the clay section). On the other hand, it should be a talik zone and should have a lower electrical resistivity in comparison with the surrounding frozen rocks. In the context of such ambiguity, it is important to use additional independent information to take i… Show more

When studying horizontally-inhomogeneous media, it is necessary to apply tensor modifications of electromagnetic soundings. Use of tensor measurements is of particular relevance in near-surface electrical prospecting because the upper part of the geological section is usually more heterogeneous than the deep strata. In the Enviro-MT system designed for the controlled-source radiomagnetotelluric (CSRMT) sounding method, two mutually perpendicular horizontal magnetic dipoles (two vertical loops) are used for tensor measurements. We propose a variant of the CSRMT method with two horizontal electrical dipole sources (two transmitter lines). The advantage of such sources is an extended frequency range of 1–1000 kHz in comparison with 1–12 kHz of the Enviro-MT system, greater operational distance (up to 3–4 km compared to 600–800 m), and the ability to measure the signal at the fundamental frequency and its subharmonics. To implement tensor measurements with the equipment of the CSRMT method described in the paper, a technique of creating a time-varying polarization of the electromagnetic field (rotating field) has been developed based on the use of two transmitters with slightly different current frequencies and two mutually-perpendicular transmitter lines grounded at the ends. In this way, we made it possible to change the direction of the electrical and magnetic field polarization continuously. This approach allows realization of the technique of tensor measurements using the new modification of the CSRMT method. In permafrost areas, the hydrogenic taliks are widespread. These local objects are important in the context of study of environmental changes in the Arctic and can be successfully explored by the tensor CSRMT method. For the numerical modeling, a 2D model of the talik was used. Results of the interpretation of synthetic data showed the advantage of bimodal inversion using CSRMT curves of both TM and TE modes compared to separate inversion of TM and TE curves. These new data demonstrate the prospects of the tensor CSRMT method in the study of permafrost regions. The problems that can be solved using the CSRMT method in the Arctic permafrost regions are discussed.
