    Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) Pilot Studies

    Metadata Updated: July 24, 2025

    Airborne electromagnetic (AEM) geophysical data were collected in California as a part of AEM pilot studies. The purpose of the AEM pilot studies was to inform the development of the Department of Water Resources’ (DWR’s) statewide AEM survey project. The AEM pilot studies were conducted in three areas: Butte and Glenn Counties, San Luis Obispo County, and Indian Wells Valley. The AEM surveys were conducted from 2018 through 2020 and were led by Stanford University with participants from the academic and private sectors, and local and state water agencies. All data used, collected, or created as a part of the AEM pilot studies are provided here.

    The AEM pilot studies were funded by grants from DWR, the Ministry of Denmark, and three local agencies (Butte County, Indian Wells Valley Water District, and San Luis Obispo County - Paso Robles). Pilot study participants included Stanford University, Aarhus University, Aqua Geo Frameworks, Ramboll, I-GIS, SkyTEM, University of California Davis, California State University Sacramento, California State University Chico, Parker Groundwater, the Danish Water Technology Alliance, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, Glenn County Department of Water Resource Conservation, Butte County Department of Water Conservation, Indian Wells Valley Water District, and San Luis Obispo County.
