terrestrial magnetic surveys

Terrestrial magnetic surveys involve measuring the Earth's magnetic field at specific locations on the ground to detect variations caused by underground features. These surveys help geologists identify mineral deposits, archaeological artifacts, or geological structures by analyzing changes in magnetic intensity. Using sensitive instruments, surveyors systematically record magnetic data across the survey area, creating detailed maps that reveal anomalies indicating different subsurface materials or formations. This non-invasive method provides valuable insights into what lies beneath the surface, supporting resource exploration and scientific research.
