aeromagnetic surveys

Aeromagnetic surveys are a method used to map the Earth's magnetic field over large areas from the air, typically using aircraft equipped with sensitive magnetometers. Variations in the magnetic field indicate differences in subsurface rocks' magnetic properties, helping geologists identify mineral deposits, fault lines, and geological structures. This technique allows for efficient exploration of underground features without drilling, providing valuable data for resource development, geological research, and environmental studies.
