Earth’s magnetic field is constantly changing — and monitoring those subtle variations plays a critical role in geomagnetism, space weather research, tectonics, and long-term Earth observation.

A recent paper on the new Pituffik (PIF) Arctic geomagnetic observatory highlighted the importance of stable, high-quality magnetic monitoring systems for continuous observatory operations in challenging environments.

GEM Systems magnetometers are used worldwide in observatory and Earth monitoring applications where sensitivity, stability, and long-term reliability are essential.

Abstract. Pituffik is a newly established geomagnetic observatory located in the high Arctic – a region with sparse geomagnetic observational coverage. Positioned within the polar cap at Quasi-Dipole geomagnetic coordinates 83.19° latitude and 25.25° longitude, the observatory provides valuable ...

The is our ultra light-weight potassium magnetometer (K-mag) that we have developed specifically for magnetic surveying with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

At a fraction of the weight of our traditional sensors, this highly sensitive magnetometer allows you to survey more quickly and easily than before.

With automated, remote controlled and pre-planned routes, previously out of reach areas physically or economically now become available.

A recent industry overview on quantum sensing highlighted the growing role of advanced magnetic sensing technologies in geophysics, exploration, environmental monitoring, and Earth science applications.

From UAV surveys to observatory monitoring, GEM Systems magnetometers have supported high-resolution magnetic data acquisition for decades.

As the article notes, GEM Systems' optically pumped magnetometers are "the most commercially mature" quantum sensor technology, and enable "high-precision measurements in real-world environments."

🔍 Case Study: UAV Magnetics at the Trinity Silver Project

Americore Resources recently completed a large-scale drone magnetometer survey at the Trinity Silver Project in Nevada, supporting structural mapping and exploration targeting across the property.

The airborne survey was flown by Exploration Consultants and utilized our GSMP-35U potassium vapour magnetometer as well as a GSM-19 Overhauser base station.

The program was designed to identify regional and local fault structures associated with silver mineralization trends extending approximately 6 km across the project area.

By combining UAV magnetic surveying with continuous base station monitoring, the project demonstrates how modern airborne geophysics can support efficient, high-resolution exploration workflows in structurally complex terrain.

📡 Our -based VLF-EM System enables airborne VLF measurements for conductivity and structural mapping applications.

The system utilizes lightweight orthogonal air-core coils to measure both in-phase and quadrature components of the electromagnetic field while simultaneously receiving signals from multiple VLF transmitters. This configuration supports improved signal characterization and reduced acquisition noise during UAV surveys.

Applications include:

🔹 Conductivity and resistivity mapping
🔹 Geological and structural interpretation
🔹 Groundwater investigations
🔹 Environmental and engineering geophysics
🔹 Subsurface infrastructure detection

By integrating VLF-EM acquisition with drone deployment, the system supports efficient data collection across complex or inaccessible terrain while maintaining high spatial resolution.

🚁 Some areas are difficult to survey. UAV magnetics changes that.

Steep terrain, dense vegetation, and remote locations can make traditional ground surveys challenging and time-consuming.

UAV magnetometer systems like the CARDINAL help teams collect high-resolution magnetic data safely and efficiently — even in hard-to-access environments.

Faster deployment. Greater coverage. Smarter surveys.
