Applications
MARINE
/ UNDERWATER GEOPHYSICAL TECHNIQUESare often used to identify existing subsurface structural features, geological layers, and/or buried debris, infrastructure, and utilities
-
MARINE & UNDERWATER GEOPHYSICS
- analysis of salt water intrusion in estuaries,
- Bathometric profiling sub-bottom sediments and underwater targets in freshwater rivers and lakes
- measurement of sea ice thickness
- Sea defence studies
- Investigation of Groundwater Conditions view example General Investigation of Subsurface Geology
- landfill geometry
- locate sinkholes and features related to karst environments.
- Locate water resources
- Location of Shallow Subsurface Faults
- Location of Subsurface Cavities Location of Subsurface Faults
- Location of Subsurface Faults Subsurface Mapping for Groundwater Investigations
- Location of Subsurface Faults view example Evaluation of Bedrock Velocity for Rippability
- location of underground water sources
- Map geological features
- Map lateral and vertical distribution of soil type
- Map stratigraphy and bedrock
- Mapping mineral, sand and gravel deposits
- Mapping subsurface lithologies
- Mine workings, concealed voids/subsidence
- mineral, sand and gravel deposits
- Mining
- Predict areas prone to slope failure
- Provide bedrock depth information
- sources of underground water
- sources of underground water (even as geothermal resources)
- Stratigraphic studies (erosional surfaces, unconformi-ties, etc)
- subsurface lithology
- Thickness of overburden
- to mapping the subsurface layers in real time
- unknown depth to bedrock
