Checklists
Maintaining control over equipment and field procedures during a geophysical survey is often overlooked. The checklists provided offer a simple way to incorporate quality control checks into geophysical surveys of any scale.
Please visit this webpage regularly, as Geomatrix plans to add checklists for additional instrumentation.
DGM QC Guidance Manual These checklists were originally developed by NAEVA Geophysical Inc. as part of the Digital Geophysical Mapping (DGM) QC Guidance Manual for the US Army Corps of Engineers. They are designed to assist with quality control during geophysical surveys for identifying Unexploded Ordnance (UXO). The full DGM QC Guidance Manual and Military Munitions Response Actions are available for download below.
DGM QC Guidance Manual (2003) ( PDF 2MB )
Military Munitions Response Actions (2007) ( PDF 2MB )
In keeping with the principles of the DGM QC Guidance Manual, Geomatrix has expanded upon their legacy by modifying and adapting the checklists to increase their applicability across a wider range of geophysical surveys.
Geomatrix would like to thank NAEVA Geophysics Inc. for allowing us to modify and host the DGM QC Guidance Checklists.
