Realizing the Capabilities of Airborne Geophysical Surveys
Airborne surveys make it possible for companies to efficiently and quickly acquire
detailed geophysical data over large areas of interest. An aircraft with specialized
sensors passes over a large area and detects important readings pertaining to the
magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric or gravity geophysical properties in the area. This
type of geophysical information is incredibly valuable for mining or
petroleum exploration companies because these readings can be analyzed to identify the
presence of valuable commodities in the subsurface.
Airborne surveys greatly increase the convenience and efficiency in
which a company can accurately survey a large area. It requires much less time
and manpower to produce incredibly high resolution and accurate results which are extremely
important to the continued livelihood of mineral and petroleum
exploration companies. Different types of engineering and archaeological research
companies also stand to benefit from the cost-effective mapping analysis that
is possible with airborne geophysical surveys.
The Best Airborne Geophysical Surveys
Reputable
airborne survey companies such as Terraquest Ltd. use multiple types of
technologies, sensors and survey methods in order to provide the most
comprehensive and accurate geophysical mapping possible. Having access to
multiple types of readings from the survey makes it possible for more thorough
analysis of the geological composition of the subsurface and better identification of the different types of minerals
and other commodities that are present.
Specialists in Airborne Geophysical Surveys
