Magnetometer Survey

A Magnetometer Survey is a geophysical method used to detect and map variations in the Earth's magnetic field. This technique is widely used for identifying buried ferrous objects, locating shipwrecks, detecting unexploded ordnance (UXO), and assessing subsurface geological structures. By measuring magnetic anomalies, magnetometer surveys provide valuable insights for marine engineering, archaeology, and mineral exploration.

At GISMappers, we utilize high-resolution marine magnetometers to conduct precise and efficient surveys. Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures accurate detection and mapping of magnetic anomalies, supporting industries such as offshore construction, environmental monitoring, and resource exploration.

Key Features & Benefits of Magnetometer Surveys:

1. High-Sensitivity Magnetic Anomaly Detection
  • Detects buried metallic objects such as shipwrecks, pipelines, and UXO.
  • Identifies subsurface magnetic variations for geological assessments.
2. Wide Range of Applications
  • Used in marine archaeology to locate submerged historical artifacts.
  • Supports offshore construction by identifying hazardous buried objects.
3. Integration with GIS & Mapping Software
  • Provides spatially accurate data for GIS-based mapping and analysis.
  • Enhances environmental assessments and resource exploration studies.
4. Rapid & Cost-Effective Surveying
  • Covers large survey areas efficiently, reducing project timelines.
  • Offers a non-invasive approach to detecting buried features without excavation.
Applications of Magnetometer Surveys:
  • Offshore & Coastal UXO Detection: Identifies unexploded ordnance for safety assessments.
  • Subsea Infrastructure Mapping: Locates pipelines, cables, and other buried assets.
  • Archaeological Investigations: Detects shipwrecks and submerged heritage sites.
  • Geological Surveys: Maps magnetic anomalies to aid mineral exploration.
