Geophysical Metadata Log Template

Recording all operational, data storage, and data processing procedures is a critical component of any geophysical report. Without clear and accurate notes outlining these procedures, it can be challenging to interpret and evaluate the results of a geophysical survey. The Geophysics Metadata Log offers a straightforward framework for recording survey metadata.

The template is based on the Archaeological Data Service (ADS) guides to good practice and the OASIS Data Entry Form for Geophysics, though its content is applicable to all geophysical applications. It is recommended that the Geophysics Metadata Log be saved within the digital archive and included as an appendix in the geophysical report.
