<p>Peatlands play a critical role in water storage and as reservoirs of organic carbon, with their degradation contributing to carbon dioxide emissions. However, the study of peatlands is challenging due to the variable thickness of peat and muck layers and limited accessibility to research sites. Traditional sensing methods, while effective for surface layer data collection, often fail to provide a comprehensive understanding of peatland dynamics. To address these limitations, this study employs electromagnetic geophysical methods, specifically the ground conductivity meter (GCM), to investigate several peatland sites located on river terraces. The GCM method, based on the interaction between transmitter and receiver coils to generate and measure electromagnetic fields, offers insights into subsurface conductivity, which is influenced by the composition and moisture content of the peat. Data collected from the study areas were processed using 2D inversion techniques, revealing distinct boundaries between low-resistivity peat zones and higher-resistivity sandy soil areas. The results include resistivity distribution maps along the profiles of various peatlands, highlighting sandy zones where peat accumulates on river terraces. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of the GCM method in estimating peat thickness, assessing moisture content, and detecting significant changes in peat wetness. Furthermore, this study lays the groundwork for long-term monitoring, as potential future changes in peat resistivity could indicate drying processes, such as mucking, and the associated release of greenhouse gases. This research underscores the utility of electromagnetic methods in advancing peatland conservation and management strategies.</p>
