ABSTRACT

Electromagnetic induction (EMI) is a convenient technique for mapping apparent electrical conductivity over large areas and varied terrain. In recent years, the resolution of EMI instrumentation has improved such that the technique can enable the detailed analysis of spatial and temporal changes in conductivity. High-resolution EMI surveys are suitable for mapping features of the scale typical of golf-course greens and tees. Such surveys can check the depth and extent of the materials used to construct golf-course features, and may be of some use in monitoring the response of features to environmental uctuations and managerial practices.
