Abstract: A method for surveying a distribution of chargeability in a volume of earth includes inducing polarization in the volume of earth by applying first and second primary magnetic fields to the volume of earth, with the first and second primary magnetic fields respectively oscillating at a first and second frequencies. First and second secondary magnetic fields emitted by the volume of earth in response to application of the primary magnetic fields are measured, with the first and second frequencies being selected such that the induction number of the volume of earth is less than unity, and, in one example, such that the imaginary portions of the secondary magnetic fields depend approximately linearly upon frequency. Distribution of chargeability can be determined for the volume of earth from a linear combination of the first and second secondary magnetic fields.
