Reference number : GC-2017-Q3-00617, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Teyssedou, Alberto (École Polytechnique de Montréal), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Quebec|Québec, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Time-Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) systems are instruments designed to detect electromagnetic fields and_x000D_
are used, among other applications, to measure weak signals generated by mineral deposits found deep within_x000D_
the Earth's shell. This detection is achieved by emitting very intense time-varying electromagnetic fields that_x000D_
interact with these deposits. In turn, the soil's electromagnetic response induces, within a detection device,_x000D_
signals that are greater than the background or instrumentation noise. Therefore, they can be used by the mining_x000D_
industry as a fingerprint of the nature and quantity of minerals. That being said, it is obvious that in order to_x000D_
properly interpret the data, a physically-coherent model must be employed. In the context of this proposal, a_x000D_
novel integral method will be used to model the electromagnetic response of mineral deposits located at several_x000D_
hundred meters beneath the Earth's surface. This model will help Geophysics GPR International Inc. (a_x000D_
Québec-based company) take into account local variations in the soil's electrical conductivity and consequently_x000D_
refine their current calculation model. Once the methodology will be fully implemented, it is expected that it_x000D_
will help GPR's operations and consequently contribute towards the development of Canada's mining industry., program purpose french : Time-Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) systems are instruments designed to detect electromagnetic fields and_x000D_
