Electromagnetic induction (EMI) techniques were originally introduced to soil science about 40 years ago. The earliest applications were focused around soil salinity appraisal, something that EMI continues to be used for and in which it performs well. However, as time passed, EMI has been applied to an increasing number of soil investigations, and the techniques available to process and evaluate EMI data have also evolved considerably. This session is open to discussions of all aspects of the application of EMI with a particular emphasis on the application of EMI to novel areas of;
1) soil science studies not frequently investigated (e.g. archaeology, municipal landfills),
2) mapping soil properties not frequently considered (e.g. mineralogy, organic matter and moisture),
3) data manipulation and analysis that improved interpretation of EMI (e.g. inversion modelling),
4) fusion with other proximal or remotely sensed data (e.g. gamma-ray spectrometry), and
5) application of data to scales larger than the field scale (e.g. farm or catchment scale).
