Geostatistical Analysis of Magnetometry Techniques to Delineate Locations of Buried Ferrometallic Drums in Hazardous Waste Sites
Abstract
The suitability and effectivess of two types of magnetometer surveys used for the location of buried steel drums in a hazardous waste site was investigated. The analysis utilized geostatistical techniques which facilitated the delineation of critical spatial wavelengths inherent in each survey. A weighted linear estimation technique, known as kriging, allowed for the determination of sets of interpolated values of the measured magnetometer readings. Limitations on the data analysis due to sampling configurations were addressed. Proposals for improving acquisition techniques for magnetic surveying in hazardous waste studies were explained.
