Magnetic susceptibility is probably the most easily measurable petrophysical parameter. It can be measured not only in the laboratory on rock specimens, but also in the field on rock outcrops. The TerraPlus KT series are convenient because they are light and of pocket size (useful in geological mapping), very sensitive (1 x 10-6 [SI] in the KT-10 model), measure the susceptibility very rapidly (one measurement takes a few seconds), contain memory for storing large amounts of measured data (up to 3000 measurements) *, and possess blue tooth connectivity (for combining susceptibility data with GPS measurements) and USB connectivity (for transferring the measured data into computer).

While the primary use of magnetic susceptibility measurements may be in exploring for metallic ore bodies, it is also be used in other applications: geological mapping , verification of magnetic anomalies, environmental surveys, heavy mineral pollution in soils, and others.

We have added two 84 electrode SuperSting R8/IP to our rental pool.

The SuperSting R8/IP is a state-of-the-art 8-channel portable memory earth resistivity meter with memory storage of readings and user defined measurement cycles. It provides the highest accuracy and lowest noise levels in the industry. Combined with our 84 electrode switch box and passive cables it forms a system ideal for 1D, 2D or 3D resistivity or IP measurements. 

Tow Cart configuration is designed to carry our GPR profiling where a SmartCart is not practical but sliding or towing is. It can be towed with a handle or rope over smooth to moderately roungh terrain. It can be used with 250, 500, or 1000 MHz antennas.

New Staff member:  Scott Bighorse has joined our technical services staff. Scott has over 26 years experience in the installation, setup, operation, trouble shooting, repair and preventive ainteance of geophysical, navigation and GPS equipment.

Land Streamer:
A land streamer is an array of geophones designed to be towed along the ground. The name orginates from marine streamers, which are a string of hydrophones towed behind ships. Land geophysicist have long envied the high productivity achieved in marine surveys. Now it appears that highly-productive relection, refraction and surface-wave survyes can be achieved on land. As a general rule, geophones planted in the ground set the standard for data quality, but land steamer surveys are excellent in many applications, while making the survey economically feasibile. References can be found on the Geostuff website including papers comparing data quality and productivity between towed aray and conventaional surveys.

Geode Ultra-Light Exploration Seismograph, 12- or 24-Channel:
Geometrics' Geode seimic recorder is the next generation of seismic recording systems, combining the best of Geometrics' traditional seismic recorders with the flexibility and convenience of a distributed system. It's ideal for refraction or reflection, downhole or VSP- even tomography surveys. Download File. You can run the Geode from your laptop to view, record, and process your data. The software interfaces to the Geode as a simple high-speed network device, eliminating the need for special drivers and cards, and because getting the answer is key, Geometrics bundles the Geode with a suite of no-charge industry-standard professional software that expands you capabilities for commercial or research applications.
