Fall 2016 Symposium – Speakers & Sponsors

The BCGS Executive is pleased to announce the speakers for the fall 2016 symposium.

Geophysics & Geological Case Studies

Geophysics plays and ever increasing role in geological investigations of the earth for resource exploration, extraction and other engineering applications (e.g. geological hazards). In this year’s Fall Symposium series from the BC Geophysical Society, we have brought together a wide range of different geophysical methods applied to an even wider array of geological investigations. In a one-day symposium, at a convenient downtown Vancouver location, for a very modest cost, come and learn about the latest geophysical technologies applied to some familiar and unfamiliar geological themes. The cross application of these techniques should lead to some thought provoking and interesting discussions throughout the day.

May 2016 Technical Talk

BCGS Technical Talk – May 24, 2016

Speaker: Jonathan Rudd

Title: DIAS32 distributed array resistivity and induced polarization system

Date/Time: Tuesday, May 24, 2016 @ 4:30 pm

Location: 4th Floor Conference Room, Room 451, 409 Granville St. (UK Building at Granville and Hastings), Vancouver

Abstract:

The DIAS32 system is a fully-distributed resistivity and induced polarization system designed for safety and efficiency in 3D DCIP surveys. Single channel architecture, wireless connectivity, and common voltage referencing combine to provide:  flexibility, efficiency and enhanced safety. The DIAS32 system has completed over a year of commercial surveying in a wide variety of geological environments and survey modes. In this presentation, we discuss the DIAS32 system design factors, and show sample results.
