Application in geological and hydrological investigation

Geophysical survey techniques make it possible to map the geological structure of the subsurface to a depth of several kilometres. A continuous image of the underground is created without having to do numerous deep drillings or probings.

Possible applications of geophysical techniques in geological investigation are:

• mapping the geological structure of the subsurface,
• mapping dike composition,
• mapping of impermeable (clay)layers,
• mapping of aquifers,
• determination of pleistocene-holocene transitions, 
• detection of salt domes or caverns,
• detection of deep oil and gas reservoirs,
• Detection of conductive structures as for example mineral ores,
• surveying of salty seepage water.
