MAGNETOMETRY

Magnetometry is a completely noninvasive surface geophysical method that measures the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field. Changes in its values show a change in the measured magnetic properties of the medium. Therefore, the method can be used in regional geology studies (identification of magmatic structures), on a local scale and even in engineering geology practice (detecting subsurface pipelines, finding unexploded ordnance). It is also used in archaeological research to map buried buildings and furnaces.


WE OFFER

 

  • Base maps and images (unprocessed)
  • Transformed maps and images:
  • Using classical methods (local anomalies, horizontal and vertical derivatives, reduction to the pole etc.)
  • Using unconventional visualization methods developed in the PGI
  • Data interpretation, including magnetic and gravity-magnetic modelling.

 

EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE

 

  • Scintrex ENVIMAG Magnetometer, ENVI GRAD/MAG option – a set used to measure the strength and vertical gradient of the magnetic field
  • Scintrex ENVIMAG Magnetometer, ENVI MAG/VLF option – a set used to measure the strength of the magnetic field and VLF

Data processing and interpretation is made using:

  • A package of U.S. Geological Survey computer programs
  • GRAVMAG software for magnetometric modelling, developed by the British Geological Survey
  • A package of GEOSOFT computer programs for modelling and qualitative interpretation of gravity and magnetic anomalies maps
