Project: Quantum based airborne EM/MAG system for fast 3D Earth mapping

Acronym QMAG (Reference Number: 11092)
Duration 01/04/2017
Project Topic We will develop a new airborne geophysical instrument which comprises a vector magnetometer having three orthogonal superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors. The system will have high sensitivity with noise < 10 fT/sqrt(Hz), and will have a wide dynamic range. This innovation will allow for the simultaneous measurement of the earth’s field and the audio frequency magnetotelluric (AFMAG) signals. This technology will be used for mapping geologic formations to great depth.
