About the Cover
SwRI scientists developed a real-time geophysical mapping system to record magnetic
anomaly maps, such as this one of a portion of the SwRI grounds in San Antonio, Texas.
The image highlights an anomaly -- evidence of a buried 16-inch-diameter gas
pipeline. This technology improves geophysical surveying methods by brining together the
survey and data analysis crews so that images of relevant ground characteristics can be
created in real time. |
