SIGMA-GEO offers innovative solutions in the field of geoecological research.
The relevance
Studying the influence of natural and anthropogenic processes on the ecosystem is an integral stage on the path to the rational use of natural resources and the preservation of a high-quality natural environment for future generations.
Solutions
Electrical prospecting methods are based on differentiation based on the geoelectric properties of the rocks that make up the geological section. Thus, a favorable factor for identifying certain objects is the contrast of their geoelectric properties relative to the host sediments.
Depending on the characteristics of the object of study (its shape and size, depth, etc.), the most effective may be the use of one of the methods (sTEM, TEM, VES, ground penetrating radar, etc.) or a set of methods.
Electrical prospecting capabilities in the field of geoecological research
The main areas of geoecological research that electrical prospecting methods can effectively cope with:
- Contouring in the section of near-surface fprmation contaminated with chemicals (in case the pollutants are characterized by contrasting geoelectric properties).
- Carrying out monitoring observations to assess the effectiveness of groundwater inflow testing in the process of eliminating contamination of aquifers.
- Prediction of the contours of areas favorable for the construction of UGS facilities.
SIGMA-GEO experience
- Employees' experience in this area exceeds 10 years.
