Geosciences
Bartington products are used in a number of geoscience fields of study, assisting activities as varied as long-term earthquake research, climate change investigation, pollution studies and the assessment of erosion processes.
When studying the deep structure of the Earth, Mag-03 Sensors are used in Magnetotellurics to determine the conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle.
These sensors also enable long-term magnetic field measurements in earthquake studies, facilitating the mapping of faults and the determination of their geometry.
Magnetic susceptibility measurements are used in the study of wind-blown dusts and have a role to play in understanding climate change in palaeoclimatic studies. They are also useful to detect pollution, especially heavy metal pollution with its high susceptibility.
The Bartington Magnetic Susceptibility System includes a versatile range of sensors and probes ideal for deep-sea sediment research, field mapping, soil and leaf studies and airborne particle measurements.
In geomorphology, this system can supply rapid information about the type of rock from which sediments are derived, assisting with the understanding of erosion processes.
The Mag-01H Declinometer/Inclinometer System can be employed as an absolute measurement tool for periodic calibration of magnetic observatory equipment.
The BSS-02B Sonde is used for borehole stratigraphical work in palaeoclimatic and palaeoceanographic studies.
