  1. Environmental and Exploration Geophysics II Magnetic methods tom.h.wilson tom.wilson@mail.wvu.edu Department of Geology and Geography West Virginia University Morgantown, WV Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  2. We’ll pick up with Magnetic Methods on Thursday Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  3. Magnetic polarity reversals on the sea floor provide Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  4. Charged particles from the sun stream into the earth’s magnetic field and crash into the gasses of the atmosphere Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  5. Protons and electrons in the solar wind crash into earth’s magnetosphere. Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  6. We are also interested in local induced magnetic fields Gochioco and Ruev, 2006 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  7. Data Acquisition Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  8. Measuring the Earth’s magnetic field Proton Precession Magnetometers water kerosene & alcohol Steve Sheriff’s Environmental Geophysics Course Tom Boyd’s Introduction to Geophysical Exploration Course Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  9. Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships Source of Protons and DC current source Proton precession generates an alternating current in the surrounding coil Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  10. Proton precession frequency (f) is directly proportional to the main magnetic field intensity F and magnetic dipole moment of the proton (M). L is the angular momentum of the proton and G is the gyromagnetic ratio which is a constant for all protons (G = M/L = 0.267513/  sec). Hence - Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  11. Magnetic Fields Locating Trench Boundaries Theoretical model Examination of trench for internal magnetic anomalies. actual field data Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Gilkeson et al., 1986

  12. Trench boundaries - field data Trench Boundaries - model data Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography Gilkeson et al., 1986

  13. Abandoned Wells From Martinek Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  14. Locating abandoned wells Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  15. Abandoned Well - raised relief plot of measured magnetic field intensities From Martinek Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  16. Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships Magnetic monopoles p1 r12 Fm12Magnetic Force Magnetic Permeability p1and p2pole strengths Coulomb’s Law p2 Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  17. Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships Force Magnetic Field Intensity often written as H pt is an isolated test pole The text uses F instead of H to represent magnetic field intensity, especially when referring to that of the Earth (FE). Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  18. Magnetic Fields – Basic Relationships The fundamental magnetic element is a dipole or combination of one positive and one negative magnetic monopole. The characteristics of the magnetic field are derived from the combined effects of non-existent monopoles. Dipole Field Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  29. Magnetic north pole: point where field lines point vertically downward Geomagnetic north pole: pole associated with the dipole approximation of the earth’s magnetic field. The compass needle points to the magnetic north pole. Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  30. Main field intensity Magnetic Intensity in Morgantown 11/15/2012 Total intensity = 52580nT Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  31. Magnetic Inclination 11/15/2012 Inclination = 67.13o Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  32. Magnetic Inclination Variations of inclination through time 11/15/2012 Inclination = 67.13o Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  33. Magnetic Declination 11/15/2012 declination = -9.08o Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography

  34. Variations of declination Magnetic Declination through time W Today, the compass points about 9 degrees west of GN Tom Wilson, Department of Geology and Geography
