ISGS Performs Airborne Geophysical Survey

The ISGS is using the latest airborne electromagnetic survey technology— helicopter time-domain electromagnetic— to map the geology of Champaign County. This survey will help scientists map the extent and characteristics of the Mahomet aquifer sand deposits within Champaign County. This effort will produce the most comprehensive measurements and maps of the Mahomet aquifer in the county to date. Data from this project will help build the most detailed three-dimensional map of the Mahomet aquifer and help address important questions regarding Champaign County’s water supply, water quality, water-supply, recharge, security and sustainability.
