Soil Conductivity: An Important Factor for Detecting Landmine Threats and Terrain Rehabilitation

Anotace: Post-war demining of territories is a global problem. Further research is required because none of the technical methods for mine detection are satisfactory in terms of basic parameters. The soil electric conductivity index may be taken into consideration as a completely touchy indicator of diverse residences of the soil without digging into the soil. Soil properties show high variability in space and time. Atypical heterogeneous objects of anthropogenic origin (by shape and material of manufacture) can be identified by maps of variations in the electromagnetic properties of the soil. Electromagnetic properties of the soil, mainly electric conductivity and magnetic susceptibility, have an effect on the operation of steel detectors, which can be historically most usually used for demining territories.
