Transmitter receiver coil separation for Electromagnetic Terrain Conductivity Measurement

Introduction to Electromagnetic Ground Conductivity Measurement Electromagnetic Terrain Conductivity (ETC) is a widely used geoscience technique for characterizing the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This non-invasive method provides valuable information about the distribution and properties of subsurface materials, which is critical for various applications such as groundwater exploration, mineral exploration, and environmental studies. One of

Quantifying Land Subsidence: Field Measurements Unveil Earth’s Shifting Terrain

Getting Started Land subsidence is a phenomenon that occurs when the earth’s surface sinks or settles due to various geological and anthropogenic factors. It can result in significant damage to infrastructure, disruption of ecosystems, and loss of valuable land. To effectively mitigate the effects of subsidence, accurate and reliable measurements are essential. This article reviews

Do Mohs Hardness Scratch Pens Require Replacement or Resharpening for Accurate Field Measurements?

Mohs hardness pens are commonly used in the geosciences to determine the hardness of minerals. These pens consist of a set of sharpened points made of different materials, each with a different degree of hardness. The pen is used to scratch the surface of a mineral, and the hardness of the mineral is then determined

Understanding the Earth’s Magnetic Field: An Overview of WMM/IGRF and Field Measurements

The Earth’s magnetic field is an essential part of our planet. It plays an important role in protecting us from harmful solar radiation and helps us navigate and orient ourselves. Understanding the Earth’s magnetic field is essential for a wide range of applications, from space exploration to geophysical research and navigation. This article provides an
