Q&A on Designing a Successful IP Survey

Eileen Lyon, B.Sc., P.Geo, Oct. 5, 2026 | Geophysics

Before the first electrode is placed, there are several decisions that determine what an IP survey can actually tell us about the subsurface. Step one is to determine whether IP is the right method for the geological setting or exploration question...

Capacitively Coupled Resistivity - A Rapid Approach to Shallow Resistivity Mapping

Darrell Epp, B.Sc. (Hons), Oct. 5, 2026 | Geophysics

Whether the objective is estimating depth to bedrock, mapping overburden, investigating permafrost, or supporting infrastructure development, resistivity surveys provide valuable information about changes in the shallow subsurface.

Optimizing VLF Survey Design and Interpretation

Eileen Lyon, B.Sc., P.Geo, July 29, 2026 | Geophysics

Most know what VLF does well: rapidly identifying conductive structures. What is less widely recognized is how modern processing can turn profiles into models that support geology.
