Electromagnetics Applications
Mineral Exploration
Electromagnetic surveys are used in mineral exploration to identify and map conductive ore deposits. Minerals have distinct electromagnetic signatures, which help to locate subsurface mineral deposits.
Oil & Gas Exploration
Electromagnetic surveys are used to detect conductivity variations in rock formations to pinpoint potential reservoirs.
Groundwater Exploration
Electromagnetic surveys are used in groundwater exploration to detect variations in subsurface conductivity related to different water types. Identifying freshwater aquifers and subsurface water content is crucial for water resource management.
Environmental Studies
Electromagnetic surveys are used to identify subsurface pollution, making them essential for environmental investigations such as mapping polluted sites and monitoring groundwater contamination.
Engineering & Infrastructure Assessment
Electromagnetic surveys are used to evaluate subsurface conditions before construction projects. This includes identifying potential hazards, mapping bedrock, and evaluating soil properties.
Archaeological Investigations
Electromagnetic surveys are used to locate buried structures and artifacts, delineating archaeological features without extensive excavation.
Volcano Monitoring
Electromagnetic surveys are used to monitor volcanic activity by detecting changes in subsurface conductivity, aiding in understanding magma movement and eruption dynamics.
