Walking Mode
ClearView Geophysics Inc. specializes in snowmobile-mode surveys which are
generally less expensive and higher quality compared to walking-mode
surveys. However, walking-mode surveys are required in areas located below
the tree-line, in extremely rugged terrain, or when snow cover is
inadequate. Certain surveys can only be carried out in walking-mode. These
include Spectral IP & resistivity surveys, seismic surveys, and other methods
that require the insertion of probes into the ground. However, GPS is
commonly used for navigation and positioning, eliminating the need for cut
and chained survey lines in many cases.
