oa Simultaneous Acquisition of Near Surface Geophysical Data

This paper seeks to define the problems and solutions developed to enable the simultaneous<br>deployment and use of multiple geophysics instrumentation from a common platform using the GEEP<br>technology (Geophysical Exploration Equipment Platform) developed by Geomatrix Earth Science.<br>For the purposes of this paper the Geophysical boundary is set at the first 100M.<br>It may be argued that for basic Geophysical exploration tasks such as foundation studies that a single<br>geophysical tool might suffice. However when addressing more challenging tasks such as<br>Archaeological research, UXO detection, Karst location, waste location, mineral mapping etc it soon<br>becomes clear that more than one geophysical tool is not only desirable but is essential to a valid<br>survey outcome.
