The Gold Mining Industry is Geared to Ramp Up
Posted by Sean on Sep 23, 2019
At the time of writing this blog post, over 70% of economists are forecasting an economic recession within the next 1-3 years. This forecast is due to all sorts of geopolitical happenings right now. At this point, we’ve probably all have seen the articles on Forbes, the Washington...
Dodging Disaster: How To Monitor Dams & Levees With Geophysical Methods
Posted by Sean on Sep 10, 2019
A quick note before we begin, this blog post is specific to earthen/embankment dams and levees. The electrical geophysical methods we mention below aren't used to monitor dams made of concrete, rubber, timber, or non-conductive materials. If you’re questioning if a geophysical survey is needed for your dam, contact us for a quick chat. Our team of geophysicists will be happy to help!
Before we discuss geophysical safety measures, let’s look at some reasons why dams and levees fail.

What Array Is The Best?
Posted by Sean on Aug 14, 2019
We’ve gone over several electrode arrays and resistivity methods in a recent 11-part blog series. We’ve covered common arrays like Wenner, Schlumberger, Dipole-Dipole, Pole-Dipole, and Pole-Pole. We’ve also covered some uncommon array types like...
Bipole-Bipole Array: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 11
Posted by Sean on Jul 29, 2019
It’s been a long journey, but today we’re at the end of our 11-part series discussing Electrical Resistivity Methods. In this final discussion, we’re going to give you an overview of the Bipole-Bipole Array.
Don’t worry though, we plan to do more long-form series like this in the future about different topics!
And if this is your first time joining us, you’re in for a treat because we’ve also covered all of the following methods:
EarthImager Demonstrations with Hasan Aktarakci and Eduardo Rodrigues
Posted by Sean on Jul 23, 2019
Throughout July, our Madrid office has been hosting webinars to demonstrate the basics of EarthImager™ 1D, 2D, and 3D. Some of our customers—especially those who signed up for webinar alerts—were lucky enough to attend the free webinars. There, they could ask questions and watch the hosts use the software in real time. We shared a lot of useful information during these webinars so we don't want to keep them hidden away! Below, you can find all of the webinars—including the ones hosted in Spanish.
And if you ever...
Mise-A-La-Masse: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 10
Posted by Sean on Jul 19, 2019
Hello again, and welcome back to our 11-part series discussing electrode arrays and electrical resistivity methods. In this post, we get to brush off our high-school French with the Mise-a-la-Masse Method.
In case this is your first time, we’ve also covered the following:

Quick Tip: Improving Contact Resistance
Posted by Sean on Jun 21, 2019
Honestly, this blog post has been a long time coming. Why? Because “How do I improve contact resistance?” is probably one of our top 5 most asked questions from AGI customers. The question comes up in nearly all of our AMA Webinars, seminars, and troubleshooting calls. So we’re finally answering this question in the blog (and AGI Help Desk) so that you’ll always have the answer on hand!
Alright, let’s get into it.

Gradient Array: Electrical Resistivity Methods, Part 8
Posted by Sean on Jun 18, 2019
Today, we’re discussing the Gradient Array. Well—more accurately—the Gradient Arrays. The Gradient Array actually comes in two flavors, the Edge Gradient and the Strong Gradient. Fun fact, we recommend the Strong Gradient array the most to our customers. Why? Well, read on to find out!
By the way, this is the eighth article in our series exploring some common (and uncommon) electrode arrays.
We’ve also covered the following:
