Geophysics Lab

Location: Building E, Room number: E-101

Description about lab:

The Geophysics Laboratory is a cutting-edge research facility equipped with advanced geophysical instruments designed to support a wide range of subsurface exploration, hydrogeological studies, and geotechnical investigations. The lab focuses on non-invasive techniques that allow for accurate and efficient characterization of subsurface features without the need for extensive drilling or excavation. With a strong emphasis on groundwater resource assessment, the lab utilizes state-of-the-art equipment to measure aquifer properties, detect water-bearing formations, and evaluate soil permeability. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in identifying geological structures, faults, and variations in subsurface materials, which are essential for engineering, environmental, and construction projects. By integrating modern technologies such as Surface Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI), the Geophysics Laboratory provides valuable insights into subsurface conditions, ensuring informed decision-making for industries, researchers, and environmental agencies.
