Controlled Source Audio MT:
Controlled Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) is an active source application of a magnetotelluric survey aimed at providing a more reliable signal and rapid acquisition time relative to a natural source MT measurement.

 Controlled-source audio-magnetotellurics (CSAMT) utilizes an active, artificial source to generate the signal for the MT measurement. The typical period range for a CSAMT survey is 10^-4 seconds to 8 seconds.[1]

CSAMT soundings image the apparent resistivity of the subsurface at shallower depths than broadband MT surveys, typically to 2-3 kilometers into the earth's crust.[2]

    Field Procedures
    The given value was not understood.
     The signal for a CSAMT survey is artificially generated through the installation of a long grounded dipole. This source dipole must be located at least four to five times the distance of the skin depth away from the recording stations in order to treat the electromagnetic fields as uniform MT fields for modeling purposes. The recording unit and transmitter are synchronized to apply a pre-programmed recording schedule which defines the time duration of the measurement and the frequencies to record.[1]

    The survey layout and equipment for the MT stations is the same as for a MT survey. The only exceptions might be a smaller induction coils for the high-frequency magnetic measurements and shorter electrode lines, as well as more rapid data acquisition time.[1] Scalar CSAMT measures one component of the electrical field and the orthogonal component of the magnetic field.[2]

     
    Environmental Mitigation Measures
    CSAMT surveys are minimally invasive geophysical surveys. The fuel consumption for the transmitter and means of transport to the MT stations are the primary impacts.
