Magnetometer Survey

A magnetometer survey is a specialized technique used in hydrographic surveying to measure the Earth's magnetic field. It helps detect variations in magnetic forces, which can indicate the presence of submerged objects like shipwrecks, underwater pipelines, or other anomalies. By mapping these magnetic fields, surveyors can create detailed images of the underwater landscape, guiding safe navigation and resource exploration. This tool is crucial for marine safety, archaeology, and environmental studies, as it allows for the identification of hidden structures beneath the water's surface without disturbing the environment.
