Abstract
On-going studies of the flood-control levees in the Sacramento Valley in California have included airborne EM and magnetic surveys, geomorphologic studies, DC resistivity surveys, cone penetrometer testing and reverse-circulation borings. This paper reports on how airborne EM is being used in conjunction with these methods to provide a regional overview of the levee foundations, tie-together and extend the ground information, as well as provide mapping of the horizontal extent of sand channels.
