Magnetic geophysical methods

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-016269

Methods of determining subsurface conditions by measuring the earth's total magnetic field at a particular location. Because buried ferrous materials distort the magnetic field, a magnetic anomaly is created and their location can be approximated.
