Abstract Time-domain or transient electromagnetic (TEM) methods are used routinely in environmental, hydrogeological, energy, and mineral resources investigations owing to their ease of use and ability to generate diagnostic data. In some typical field situations, the gross structure of the subsurface may be approximately 1-D, so 1-D interpretation schemes can be used to retrieve an interpretive model for the depth soundings.
