Data sets used for  mapping projects

Cranfield Geoservices (CGSI) uses all available data and knowledge to create or update geological maps. The goal is to integrate an updated understanding of the regional structure and geological evolution into local prospects.  A comprehensive understanding of how airborne geophysical and remotely sensed imagery enhance interpretation of the local geology is vital in designing your exploration program.

Regional Airborne geophysical surveys

Airborne Geophysical Surveys for geological mapping use both radiometric and magnetic imagery. Radiometric surveys measure gamma rays which are continuously being emitted from the Earth by natural decomposition of some common radiogenic minerals. The use of radiometric imagery to distinguish differences in rock chemistry between and within geological units has been applied most extensively for granitic rocks, but it is gaining in acceptance to use to distinguish chemical differences in sedimentary sequences related to provenance and elements of a mineralised system including:

  • Exploration for a range of uranium deposits.
  • Special applications such as exploration for diamonds by assisting in location of kimberlite.
  • Porphyry copper  deposits particularly in zones of potassic alteration
  • Exploration for gold using the Au-U association in specific localities.
  • Exploration for radioactive halos over hydrocarbon deposits.

Geophysical surveys for subsurface interpretation

Subsurface geophysical techniques for creating a solid geology map and underlying resources  (ie on of an interpreted geology below the surface also include:-

Magnetic Surveys

  • Magnetic surveys – which measure variations in the Earth’s magnetic field due to the presence of magnetic minerals. Subtle changes to these minerals are used to interpret rock types and assist in identifying resources. These surveys can be aerial, on the surface or in down-hole logging tools. Magnetic surveys are commonly used in  mineral exploration.

Gravity geophysical surveys

  •  Gravity surveys – include both ground and airborne surveys.  The instrumentation identifies variations in rock density in the Earth’s crust. These surveys are commonly used in conjunction with magnetic surveys to locate regions of higher density that may correlated with economic mineralization.

Induced Polarisation geophysical surveys

  •  Induced Polarisation (IP)  surveys  induce an electric field in the ground and measure the chargeability and resistivity of the subsurface to locate changes in the electric currents due to variations caused by rocks and minerals.

Electromagnetic geophysical surveys

  • Electromagnetic (EM) surveys create an induced electromagnetic field and measure the three dimensional variations in conductivity (capacity to conduct electricity) within the near-surface soil and rock. Uses include  the location metallic minerals,and to understand groundwater and salinity. In the case  of groundwater salinity there is a capacity to model the salinity at different depths.

    Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But just imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Awesome blog!

      Hi Jake
      The answer is I will be adding videos to this site. I have beeen recovering from operations and have started writing a book, but when i get further with the book I will be adding videos to the site

    Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

    Many thanks for this article. I’d personally also like to say that it can end up being hard when you find yourself in school and starting out to establish a long credit rating. There are many students who are just simply trying to live and have a long or favourable credit history are often a difficult thing to have.

    I haven抰 checked in here for some time because I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are great quality so I guess I will add you back to my everyday bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂

    I was just searching for this info for a while. After 6 hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your website. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this type of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.
