The main goal of this recent field study was to compare NMR-measured hydrogeologic results obtained using different high-resolution NMR tools. The NMR investigation was conducted at Ebey Island, WA. This site is in the Snohomish River estuary near Everett, WA, USA. The site is associated with a very shallow water table and a network of actively maintained dikes.

NMR borehole logging measurements were performed using Vista Clara’s Dart™ DP140N (Numax) and DP140J (JMax) dire

Motivation
The Cosumnes River watershed system in Central California is an extremely valuable resource, supplying water for agriculture and domestic needs and provides critical habitat for natural resources. It is one of the few remaining dam-free rivers in the region with a natural salmon run and supports some of the most productive agricultural areas of California.

The subbasin has been designated “critically over drafted” as groundwater supplies 95

Introduction
Many critical mineral resources including lithium, uranium and potash are produced as brine groundwater resources. These critical minerals are typically found in highly saline groundwater in arid closed basins, and beneath dry lake beds. Production of brine-based mineral resources entails pumping mineral-rich brine from permeable brine aquifers and separating the minerals from water at the surface. The majority of the world’s lithium stores are located

Motivation

Vista Clara NMR Geophysical Equipment helps clients image the subsurface to accurately define hydrogeologic properties including
porosity, pore size, mobile and bound water content, permeability, and transmissivity. We offer equipment for sale or rent, as well as, professional consulting services to our customers.

Vista Clara is pleased to play a key role in the comprehensive East River Experimental Watershed study conducted near Crested Butte, Colorado by providing advanced NMR geophysical investigation capabilities, including GMR™ non-invasive NMR surface measurement, along with both Javelin®&nb

Coastal ecosystems play an important role in interfacing between marine and terrestrial environments. These systems host complex dynamic processes associated with strong physical gradients between freshwater and saltwater, ground water and surface water, and between high and low permeability soils. Therefore, the structure and stability of coastal environments have a critical impact on environmental resources, ecosystems, and global climate change.

Coastal ecosystems are ecologically

During a recent training trip to Germany, Vista Clara provided extensive, on-site, training and equipment demonstrations to European customers to highlight magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, which enables them to directly detect and image subsurface hydrogeologic properties.

The training conducted near Hanover, Germany, provided a comprehensive understanding of how NMR Geophysical Equipment helps clients image the subsurface to accurately define hydrogeologic properties including po

The all-new GMR-Flex Pre-polarization Module provides a controlled and boosted static magnetic field to enable precise, high signal to noise ratio measurement and imaging of water content in the top 3 meters of the subsurface, even when using very small detection loops. The GMR-Flex Pre-polarization Module and software also enable effective detection and imaging using small loops in high noise environments.

This technique works by generating a large DC current through a dedicated mult

Vista Clara has successfully completed field testing of Javelin Micro.  With a 1.75 inch (44mm) diameter, Javelin Micro is the world’s first wireline NMR logging tool capable of logging 2 inch ID PVC boreholes.

The Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) site is a former uranium ore-processing facility managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). The highest remediation priority for the site is hauling and disposal of mill tailings. Additional efforts of the site are focused on remediation of a uranium plume on the edge of Colorado river, with the main goal of protecting the river’s ecosystem. The current remediation app
