New "Baby" for Magnetic Observatories

GEM is pleased to announce a new arrival. Nicknamed the "baby" dIdD for its compact size, the Suspended dIdD is a drift-free vector magnetometer developed with the Eotvos Lorand Institute & Tihany Observatory (Hungary) and the United States Geological Survey. The new dIdD eliminates the need for fluxgate devices. See pictures of the new "baby" here.

British Geologic Survey Updates Systems

The BGS has updated its magnetic observatory systems with a new magnetic data acquisition package. The result of almost two decades of development, GDAS incorporates GEM's GSM-90 Overhauser magnetometer as its standard for long-term, drift-free total field measurement.

Potassium Airborne - "Taking to the Air"

GEM led the industry in the early 80's with the first helicopter-borne four-sensor gradiometer. Today, the addition of Potassium sensors is attracting attention for professionals seeking very high sensitivity surveys with low heading error.
