Advanced Geosciences

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

Our state-of-the-art products include the SuperSting with WiFi, SuperSting Marine with WiFi, PowerSting, PowerSting Nodes, MiniSting memory earth resistivity / IP meters, Swift dual-mode automatic smart electrodes, graphite electrodes, and IP modelling and inversion software EarthImager, for 2D and 3D applications.

AGI is the leading developer and manufacturer of both hardware and software for electrical resistivity and IP imaging in the world. AGI instruments and modelling software are delivered to all continents. We have customers in more than 30 countries, including the US, Canada, South America, Asia and most European countries. Our customers include government agencies, universities, research institutions and environmental and engineering firms. We are proud that scientists and researchers around the world have been using our electrical imaging instruments and software for cutting-edge research and solving real-world problems. Our resistivity and IP imaging systems may be used for applications, including:

• Cavity and sinkhole detection
• Depth to the bedrock determination
• Site characterisation
• Groundwater exploration
• Lithology mapping
• Mineral exploration
• Archaeological site investigation
• Detection of free products of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL)
• Monitoring of remediation processes such as steam enhanced remediation and in-situ air-sparging
• Monitoring of subsurface processes such as groundwater recharge, infiltration, saltwater intrusion, tunnelling, dam leakage and in-situ mining

Resistivity, induced polarisation and self-potential imaging instruments

The SuperSting R8 IP is a state-of-the-art eight-channel portable memory earth resistivity meter with memory storage of readings and user-defined measurement cycles. It provides the highest accuracy and lowest noise levels in the industry. This new instrument revolutionises the field of resistivity imaging surveys by its capability to simultaneously measure up to eight channels using a high-power transmitter so that field data collection can reach previously unheard speeds. With the high-power transmitter, data can be recorded in difficult locations where time-consuming stacking was the only alternative before.
