APPLICABILITY TO GEOLOGY
“The oil industry cannot exist without land
surveyors.. If you put a well in the wrong place, no
oilfield technology or amount of drilling will correct
that” – Alberta Land Surveyors’ Association

GEOLOGICAL AND SEISMIC SURVEYING
Key methods – reflection seismology, seismic
refraction and seismic tomography.
Seismic surveys are “ultrasounds” of the earth.
Surveyors release compressed air into the water
to create short duration sound waves that reflect
off subsurface rock layers and are “heard” by
sensors being towed behind the vessel.

ELECTROMAGNETIC SURVEYING
This uses the principle of induction to measure
the electrical conductivity of the subsurface.
A primary alternating electric current of known
frequency and magnitude is passed through a
sending coil creating a primary magnetic field in
the space surrounding the coil, including
underground.

APPLICATIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
SURVEYING
Finding voids and solution features in soil and
rock.
Locating abandoned mineshafts, crown holes and
subsistence features.
Identifying bedrock discontinuities
Defining former landfill sites
Mapping soil types and land drainage systems

HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEYING
the measurement and description of the physical
features of the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and
their adjoining coastal areas, with particular
reference to their use for navigation and
exploration.
Applications:
Marine construction, dredging, offshore oil
exploration and drilling.

GEODETIC SURVEYING
Relates to the geometry of curved surfaces. Surveys
done over large areas where the curvature of the
earth's surface is taken into account.

GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEMS
Satellite system used to pinpoint the geographic
location of a remote receiver.
Uses timing and positing to determine distances
and deflection.
Position of the receiver is then computed using
triangulation and trilateration.
Applications:
Precise positioning of off-shore features, platforms,
pipeline routes, navigation

REMOTE SENSING
Science of obtaining information about objects or
areas from a distance – typically from an aircraft
or satellite.
E.g. of satellites: LIDAR (Light detection and
ranging); LandSat (NASA); Synthetic Aperture
Radar (SAR)
Applications: Surveying and mapping of land and
ocean features; location and mapping of
hydrocarbon seepage; creation of digital elevation
models.

GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS
A GIS is a computer based system used for
capturing, storing, visualising, manipulating,
analyzing and managing spatially referenced
data.
Can be used to understand the complex
interrelationships of natural resources, physical
phenomena and human populations.
