In this step-by-step Oasis montaj tutorial, geoscientist Becky Bodger and SPH Engineering CEO Alexey Dobrovolskiy show you how to process magnetometer data, estimate depth & weight, and confidently close UXO targets.
What you’ll learn
🟢 Depth & width estimation methods
🔵 Fast Oasis montaj workflow for large datasets
🟡 Live demo on real magnetometer data
🟠 Best practices for marking and closing targets
🟣 Q&A with the experts
Who is this for? Drone geophysicists, UXO clearance teams, GIS engineers, and anyone using magnetometer.
