Geophysical Exploration

Geophysical exploration involves using scientific methods to investigate the Earth's subsurface without direct drilling. It employs tools and techniques, such as measuring seismic waves, magnetic fields, or electrical responses, to detect variations in rock types, fluids, or structures below the surface. This process helps geologists and engineers identify mineral deposits, oil and gas reservoirs, groundwater, and fault lines efficiently and accurately. Essentially, it's like taking an X-ray or ultrasound of the Earth to understand what lies beneath the surface, guiding resource extraction, environmental assessment, and hazard evaluation.
