Advanced Geosciences - Geophysical Imaging Instruments and Software

Advanced Geosciences (AGI) is a manufacturer of geophysical imaging systems. The company is based in Austin, Texas, and has been active in the geophysical field since 1989.

Our state-of-the-art products include SuperSting R8/IP, SuperSting Marine, SuperSting R1/IP, and MiniSting instruments used for imaging of the ground. Our EarthImager resistivity / IP inversion software is used to produce 2D and 3D images of the ground.

Resistivity, induced polarization and self-potential imaging instruments

The SuperSting imaging instruments are used for resistivity, induced polarization (IP) and self potential (SP) surveys on land, underground, in water and in boreholes for applications such as:

• Fracture detection for de-watering purposes at mines and quarries
• Locating problem areas in mines
• Delineating ore bodies and pollution plumes
• Mineral exploration
• Pre-tunneling surveys
• In-situ mining
• Dam leakage
• Groundwater exploration
• Cavity and sinkhole detection
• Depth to bedrock mapping
• Cathodic and corrosion protection surveys

High-power external transmitters for imaging instruments

The PowerSting current transmitters are used in applications where high power, up to 15kW, is required. The PowerSting can communicate with the SuperSting in wired or in wireless mode.

Resistivity and SP instruments for mining surveys

The MiniSting instrument is especially designed for resistivity surveys with the four-electrode method in applications such as vertical electrical sounding (VES) and profiling for groundwater exploration, and cathodic and corrosion protection surveys.

Resistivity imaging software

The EarthImager software from AGI is available for 1D (VES), 2D, 3D and 4D (time lapse) resistivity and IP inversion.

Electrical survey accessories

AGI offers accessories for electrical surveys such as cables, cable reels, different electrodes, lab equipment and more.

Geophysical instrument training courses

AGI offers training courses at regular intervals. There is an introductory course and an advanced course. Each course is two days and is given in English or Spanish.
