Electromagnetic Surveying
Electromagnetic surveying is a geophysical technique that uses electromagnetic fields to map subsurface structures by measuring variations in electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability. It involves transmitting electromagnetic waves into the ground and analyzing the induced responses to detect features like mineral deposits, groundwater, or archaeological artifacts. This method is widely used in mineral exploration, environmental studies, and engineering site investigations.
Developers should learn electromagnetic surveying when working on geospatial data analysis, remote sensing applications, or environmental monitoring projects, as it provides non-invasive subsurface imaging. It is particularly useful in industries like mining, oil and gas, and civil engineering for resource exploration and hazard assessment, where understanding underground conditions is critical for decision-making and safety.
