What Is a Proton Magnetometer?
Rocks and ores in nature have different magnetic properties, which can produce different magnetic fields. It causes the Earth's magnetic field to change in local areas and geomagnetic anomalies. Using magnetometers to discover and study these magnetic anomalies can further find magnetic ore bodies and study geological structures. Magnetic exploration is one of the commonly used geophysical exploration methods. It is mainly used to find and explore related minerals (such as iron ore, lead-zinc ore, copper ore, etc.), and perform geological mapping. [1]
- Proton precession magnetometer, which uses static excitation
- 1) Mineral exploration, based on the characteristics of useful minerals in the ore that have magnetic properties or the symbiosis of magnetic minerals, direct ore prospecting, or indirect based on the ore body's genesis or spatial characteristics related to certain magnetic geological structures Prospecting. These ore include iron ore, lead-zinc ore, copper ore and so on.
- 2) Cooperate with the exploration of the mining area, study the burial depth, occurrence and continuity of the ore body, study the shape and size of the ore body, estimate the scale of the deposit? Petroleum and natural gas exploration, study the geological structure and geological structure related to oil and gas
- 3) Earthquake precursor monitoring, volcano observation, and other environmental and disaster geological work
- 4) Geological mapping with basic geological surveys
