Introduction Magnetic surveying… Investigation on the basis of anomalies in the Earth´s magnetic field resulting from the magnetic properties of the underlying rocks (magnetic susceptibility and remanence) 2 Application • Exploration of fossil fuels (oil, gas, coal) • Exploration of ore deposits • Regional and global tectonics • Large scale geological structures, volcanology • Buried conductive objects (cables, drums) • Unexploded ordnance (UXO) • Archaeological investigations • Engineering/construction site investigation 3 Structure of the lecture 1. Equations in magnetic surveying 2. Geomagnetic field (refresher) 3. Magnetic properties of rocks (refresher) 4. Survey strategies and interpretation 5. Conclusions We will not talk about magnetic properties at an atomic scale, paleomagnetics or the magnetic structure of the Earth. These notions were developed last year. We will focus on magnetics for environmental and engineering applications and emphasize links with gravimetry. 4 1. Equations in magnetic surveying 5 Basic magnetic theory Let us first define the following terms… F magnetic force B magnetic induction field H magnetic field strenght M magnetic moment J i intensity of induced magnetization k magnetic susceptibility 6 Basic concepts Within the vicinity of a bar magnet a magnetic flux is developed which flows from one end of the magne
