Summary

Multi-frequency electromagnetic measurements were carried out to determine the subbottom ice-bonded permafrost on the Beaufort shelf in order to optimise the installation track of the pipeline. The data obtained from a 4-layer model were discussed (ice-water-subbottom-permafrost) and gave reliable results in correlation with data obtained by seismic reflection and refraction measurements and by drilling.
