Geophysical Logging
Geophysical logging is a method used to gather information about the physical properties of underground materials, such as rocks and soils. It involves sending instruments down into boreholes to measure characteristics like density, resistivity, and natural radioactivity. This data helps geologists and engineers understand the geological structure, locate resources like oil or minerals, and assess conditions for construction projects. By analyzing these measurements, professionals can make informed decisions about resource management and environmental protection, ensuring safer and more efficient use of the Earth's subsurface.
