Data Processing
& Interpretation

SAND provides tailored data processing and re-processing services to maximise the value and quality of geophysical datasets.

Data Processing Services

SAND Geophysics has extensive experience applying custom processing techniques to challenging datasets and complex survey environments, maximising the quality and interpretability of geophysical data. We utilise a combination of industry standard software and bespoke in-house software to deliver high quality results. All processed data and deliverables can be supplied in standard formats for seamless integration into project workflows.

Previous projects have included re-processing seismic profiles to increase resolution at depth and analysis of multi-beam echo sounder data to identify issues within the data and provide solutions.

Magnetometer

SAND produces high-resolution magnetometer datasets for UXO assessments and magnetic anomaly analysis, using tailored workflows to meet project requirements. Our services include:

  • Cleaning and conditioning navigation, altitude, and magnetometer data
  • Diurnal and geological corrections
  • Magnetic anomaly interpretation
  • Generating full set of deliverables, from gridded data to target exports & shapefiles

Software

  • Oasis Montaj
