Abstract

The Red Buttes Hydrogeophysics Test Site, owned by the University of Wyoming, is about 19 km south of Laramie, Wyoming. The geologic structure consists of three shallow-dipping, sub-horizontal layers in the near surface: an unconsolidated clay loam, the Satanka Formation, and the Epsilon Sandstone Member of the Casper Formation. The unsaturated 3-4 m thick clay loam is a low-resistivity layer that overlies the lower- resistivity silty-claystone of the Satanka Formation, found to 12 m depth. Finally, starting approximately 12 m below the surface is the consolidated Casper Formation Epsilon sandstone. The Epsilon sandstone is generally observed to have a much higher resistivity than the overburden.

This dataset contains a range of measurements acquired at the Test Site that may be useful for instrument calibration/validation, joint-measurements comparisons, and demonstration datasets.

Please leave a comment if you download and/or use these data for research or teaching! We'd love to know if it is useful to you, and work to improve the dataset in the future!
