Austin Exploration Inc. provides accurate and high quality data processing services; with detailed point-by-point analysis performed along every survey line.

Great care is taken to ensure the final results are a true representation of the actual data, with a policy of minimal filtering and grid smoothing. A close relationship with the onboard operators allows for a more realistic understanding of the acquired data; often negating the need for excessive filtering, which in turn allows for a greater quantity of the real data to be available for interpretation. Austin Exploration Inc. uses a processing software suite that has been developed and fine tuned over many years, with a state of the art graphical interface that allows accurate individual line editing.

Austin Exploration Inc. also uses ™Geosoft Oasis montaj software for visualization, mapping and for further processing and transforms. This powerful geophysical software suite compliments the capabilities of the Austin Exploration software; allowing for a greater flexibility and an improved accuracy in the control and presentation of the data.                                                                         

Austin Exploration Inc. can provide the highest level of experience available in the field of gravity and magnetic data interpretation.

Gravity Data Interpretation Overview

For any given subject area the acquired gravity data are compiled and a Bouguer correction applied. The data are plotted on profiles and a full colour shaded relief map is produced.

An appropriate broad filter is selected, to approximate the regional gravity for the area. This is then subtracted from the Bouguer gravity to give Residual or Derivative Gravity Maps. These resulting maps will accentuate the anomalies that are caused by the geologic structure in the vicinity.

The Residual Gravity Map can be used with the density of the sediments to compute the causative structure. The structure can be portrayed on profiles and a map.

Whilst interpreting the gravity profiles and maps; the interpreter will also frequently refer to bathymetry or elevation data, magnetic data, and any available geological information
