Applied Geophysics?

[Aningaaq]

I was wondering if they were any people here that are studying or have studied geophysics (applied too)?

I'm an undergraduate at the moment and I'm using a ground-penetrating radar to conduct some field tests. I've been studying countless surveys and technical books to educate myself. Another instrument I'm using is a magnetometer but I'm less familiar with that instrument.

I wanted to know if some of you have experience with these instruments. How have you applied them to your research, work, or education? If you don't have any experience but knowledge on the subject then I would be interested in what you think about studies using these instruments.

I'm adept with both the tools (conducted field research in both hemispheres!) but rarely meet someone to discuss them with. Just reaching out!

Instruments I'm using: GSSI 400 MHz and 200 MHz antenna and an Overhauser magnetometer. The research was mostly archaeological but naturally included geology as well.

I am finishing my first year of uni and have taken an intro geophys course haha!

Sadly i don't know very much about geophysics, just basic tectonic movements, formation of moutains and pressure/temperature rock statuses...

I also know pretty much nothing about the instruments you talk about, BUT i'd love to learn more about all of this ! Please tell us about your field experiments and your work, Im very interested

Never used ground-penetrating radars before. Have used magnetometers a fair few times though, mainly in developing magnetic shielding for a compact atom interferometer gravity gradiometer to produce a homogenous and low magnetic field within the inteferometer so that the contribution from gravity's gradient to the phase difference in the interference pattern produced can be extracted from the phase difference due to the zeeman effect, which for a compact atom interferometer in Earth's magnetic field is usually much higher and swamps out the signal due to gravity's gradient.
