Magnetic Surveying

Magnetic surveying involves measuring variations in Earth's magnetic field to identify underground features or mineral deposits. Devices called magnetometers are used to detect subtle changes in magnetic intensity caused by different underground materials, such as rocks, minerals, or buried structures. This method helps geologists and engineers map subsurface conditions without excavation, aiding in resource exploration, archaeological investigations, and environmental assessments. By analyzing magnetic data, professionals can infer the presence and approximate location of hidden features, making magnetic surveying a valuable, non-invasive tool in various geological and geographic studies.
