Deep Subsurface Investigations With MT Technologies

Phoenix MT equipment provides geophysical data for a wide range of crustal research applications. Major uses include identifying subduction zone boundaries and determining the thickness of the earth's crust at a particular location, such as the Himalaya region of the Indian sub-continent.

Phoenix MT equipment can measure periods as low as ~50,000 seconds, permitting ultra-deep geophysical investigations to the bottom of the earth's crust (100 km to 150 km below the surface).

Dr. Alan G. Jones, Senior Professor and Head of Geophysics at the School of Cosmic Physics, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, has used MT extensively.

Solve common problems in groundwater exploration

The US Geological Survey (USGS) used MT/AMT in 2003 to map the structural controls on groundwater flow in the Culpeper Basin (next to the Washington, DC, metropolitan area). The presence or absence of ground water in this area has a direct effect on real estate values: at least one major corporation selected the location for its large computer server operations on the basis of groundwater available for cooling. The USGS also used AMT to map a Karstified zone in Texas.

The Institute of Geophysics in Hanoi, Viet Nam, used a combination of AMT and DC Resistivity (VES) in the early 1990s to map both shallow and deep aquifers.
