Geophysics

Geophysics is the practice of measuring the composition of the earth in a specific area using noninvasive techniques. Invasive techniques, such as drilling and digging, can cause unnecessary disturbances to an area. MEMS’ geophysics team uses scanning, GPS, and other noninvasive methods to achieve an accurate assessment of the area without causing any damage or disturbance. Because geophysics requires no samples or replacement of land, it is a cost effective way to get results. Our geophysics team uses a variety of leading-edge techniques to conduct operations such as salt mapping, contaminate mapping and historic spill assessment. Our geophysical operations are performed in support of environmental applications, environmental impact assessments, assessments for remediation and other environmental services. Information obtained through our geophysics services can be formatted and presented through our geomatics department to enhance clarity, readability and appearance.
