Electromagnetic Exploration
Have a look at our studies
We mainly conduct magnetotelluric (MT) electromagnetic surveys in fault zones, mining areas, geothermal fields, and volcanic regions.
After several days of measurement, we again go to the field to pick the equipment up. The observed electromagnetic data are extracted from those and analyzed at our laboratory.
We install several tens of MT sites across a broad survey area, collect and analyze the data, and estimate the three-dimensional resistivity structure.
