MAGNETIC

Equipment

 

 

  • Magnetic surveying requires magnetometers for the precise measurement of the geomagnetic field and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to provide precise geographic locations. Magnetic measurements usually are made from aircraft or ships, although ground surveys are used in some special applications. GUMP has the equipment required for groundsurveys but acquires airborne magnetic surveys by contracting with private companies.
