Introduction Many critical mineral resources including lithium, uranium and potash are produced as brine groundwater resources. These critical minerals are typically found in highly saline groundwater in arid closed basins, and beneath dry lake beds. Production of brine-based mineral resources entails pumping mineral-rich brine from permeable brine aquifers and separating the minerals from water ...
The InSAR method provides information on slow-moving landslides over large areas. ...
Ground penetrating radar, or GPR, is the most modern and rapidly developing geophysical method. The possibilities of its application are being investigated, the number of tasks that it is capable of solving is increasing, and the equipment is being improved and modified. ...

Geophysical NMR measurements deliver reliable and straightforward hydrogeologic information, even in saline groundwater environments. These environments can be challenging to characterize with conventional electrical resistivity measurements, because differences in resistivity may be associated with the fluid or with the formation. Low resistivity could be correlated with a impermeable clay, or ...
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a well-established technology that has earned its place as the go-to technology for many subsurface imaging applications. No other geophysical method comes close to GPR's ease of deployment, nor the amount of ground that an operator can cover in a typical day. ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an especially useful technique in permafrost investigations because it is the only geophysical method that can directly and unambiguously identify unfrozen water. ...
Each utility segment depicted on the final drawing is assigned a QL level from QLD to QLA under ASCE 38-02 Standard Guideline for Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data. Geophysical methods employed stand at second place in the uncertainty scale as QL B, only usurped by exposing of the utility through vacuum or other means of safe ...
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful technology for groundwater investigations, leveraging the same physics as medical MRI imaging to directly detect water and characterize subsurface hydrogeologic parameters. In geophysics, surface NMR methods can be used to non-invasively map groundwater aquifers and borehole logging NMR tools can be used to obtain ...
Summary Trial passive seismic HVSR survey lines were carried out in the north-western part of the Wilga sedimentary basin in Western Australia, which is a small and shallow isolated sub-basin to the Perth Basin, sitting above rifted Archaean granite-gneiss basement rocks. The HVSR survey method was trialled to determine if it could resolve subsurface basin features quickly and cheaply. This trial ...
The HVSR data were acquired by local field operators, and then processed and depth converted using a Vs of 370m/s, with the modelled bedrock surface ranging in depth from The objective of this presentation is to demonstrate the successful application of the passive seismic HVSR method in assisting with hydrogeological studies by providing modelled bedrock surfaces which can be ...
Introduction Surface magnetic resonance is a powerful geophysical method that provides direct, non-invasive detection and imaging of groundwater. ...
Jayson Meyers (Resource Potential, Perth, Australia) that illustrates how passive seismic and other geophysical methods identify a young meteorite crater in Archaean greenstone of the Coolgardie Goldfield (Western Australia). ...
Geophysical and physicochemical methods were carried out to examine the effect of leachate on groundwater in a dumpsite location in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. ...
APPROACH A bedrock remedial design characterization (RDC), utilizing multiple geophysical methods and high density groundwater sample collection, was conducted to identify and characterize the bedrock fractures as well as to determine the transport mechanisms of the dissolved petroleum hydrocarbon plume. The geophysical methods ...
Additionally, an attempt was made to identify other geoelectrical anomalies that may have archeological character by using the Geophysical Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)imaging method. Layout Due to the limited study area and obstacles (fence, outbuilding, etc.) only one ERT profile was carried out. ...
Potable water in the Zululand coastal plain, Sodwana, South Africa can be enhanced by: (i) providing detailed information on the aquifer system using geophysics; (ii) providing information on groundwater quality and its efficient use; (iii) providing low-cost/low technology local drillers with light-weight, manoeuvrable rigs with trained teams for drilling of 6-inch diameter ...
Objective In 2014, our client was hired to help with ongoing archaeological excavations and show possible structural extensions or new remains on the site by using the geophysical electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) imaging method. Why A Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) Survey Didn’t Work Previously, a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) survey was used to ...
Geotech low-flow groundwater analysis kit Elizabeth Guilford said,"Once we got the kit going it gave us the samples much more easily and quickly than we were expecting or than with any other method. In fact without low flow we would probably have had to use more methods such as geophysics or more complex methods such as packer ...
In support of their characterization efforts, GUPC requested that seismic geophysical data be acquired at four locations within the project area. These locations include portions of the: Miraflores Cofferdam Atlantic Approach Channel Atlantic Gates Parking Area Pacific Gates Parking Area GUPC retained the team of GeoView, Inc. and Spotlight Geophysical ...
Polk County, Florida Bathymetric and sub-bottom surveys were conducted within a clay settling pond at a Phosphate mine in Central Florida. Prior to the geophysical survey, a depression or slump had formed along the northern dam of the pond. The purpose of the study was to map various sediment layers within the pond to help determine if the depressions or slumps were related to ...
