Introduction Low-frequency electromagnetic induction (EMI) is a non-invasive geophysical method that is based on the induction of electromagnetic (EM) waves into the subsurface to quantify changes in electrical conductivity. The datasets included in this repository contain near-surface soil electrical conductivity data which were obtained with an experimental Electromagnetic Induction System during field measurements in the Nationalpark Neusiedlersee, Austria. Publication The datasets belong to the publication 'Design, Development and Application of a Modular Electro-magnetic Induction (EMI) Sensor for Near-Surface Geophysical Surveys'. Files The datasets are in CSV and TSV (DAT files) format and can be opened in, e.g., MS-Excel. A PDF document describing the column headers is included.The figures are provided in common image formats (JPG, PNG, GIF) and can be opened with any image viewer.
