Mobile Geophysics Laboratory
The Mobile Geophysics Laboratory was developed as part of the CRESCENTO project and aims to provide a suite of geophysical equipment for interdisciplinary studies such as detecting and monitoring geological and environmental hazards, investigating the physical properties of subsurface elements, and monitoring and preserving cultural heritage sites.
The laboratory is equipped with the following instruments:
- DJI Matrice Drone with Photogrammetry Cameras
In addition to creating orthophotos and elevation models, this drone can be equipped with third-party sensors, such as the DroneMag magnetometer. - Acecore Noa 6 Drone with Lidar Sensor
This flexible drone can carry various sensors with a payload capacity of up to 20 kg, including a Lidar scanner. - DroneMag Airborne Magnetometer
This total-field magnetometer is compatible with both the DJI Matrice and Acecore Noa 6 drones. It is ideal for applications where magnetic field measurements are needed, particularly in areas where ground-based magnetometry is not feasible. - Ground Magnetometer
Ground magnetometers can perform high-precision magnetic measurements under diverse conditions. - Hydra-G Radar Interferometer
This interferometric radar provides real-time, sub-millimetric precision measurements. It is suitable for monitoring engineering structures (e.g., tunnels, roads, dams) and other critical targets. The system has a scanning range of up to 800 meters and delivers high-resolution data. - IBIS-FM EVO Radar
This radar is used for sub-millimetric monitoring of slopes, offering critical data for geohazard assessment and geological risk monitoring. - GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar)
The GPR system includes equipment with multiple frequencies, allowing for high-precision subsurface monitoring at various depths. - A10 Portable Absolute Gravimeter
The high-precision A10 gravimeter is suitable for crustal studies, mineral exploration, and microgravity studies. Its portability allows it to function even in challenging field conditions. - Mobile Seismic Station
The seismic equipment includes horizontal and vertical vibration systems, short-period and broadband seismic stations, and a 24-channel geophone system. - Mobile GPS Stations
High-precision GPS stations for accurate positioning. - Multi-Electrode Electrical Measurement Equipment
This equipment provides information on subsurface electrical parameters, valuable for environmental, hydrological, and soil studies. - FullWaver Electrical Measurement System
The two-channel FullWaver system conducts Induced Polarization (IP) and Spontaneous Potential (SP) measurements, recording full waveforms. - Passive Seismograph
The Atom-3C system collects passive seismic data, enabling Vs measurements down to depths of approximately 1.5 km.
This comprehensive infrastructure makes the Mobile Geophysics Laboratory a versatile and cutting-edge resource for a wide range of geophysical and interdisciplinary research applications.
