Drone, airborne and ground geophysics for exploration, water and infrastructure projects across the United States and around the world.
Rockpile Geophysics is an independent consulting firm. The geophysicist who scopes your project is the one in the field and the one who writes the report.
Field crews and drones mobilize from our offices to project sites across the Americas, Europe and Southeast Asia.
Meet the Rockpile team in person. Get in touch to set up a time to talk at any of these events.
Nugget Casino Resort · Sparks, Nevada
The American Exploration & Mining Association's annual meeting, one of the largest mining conventions in the U.S., with technical sessions, short courses and a trade show.
Event details ↗Metro Toronto Convention Centre · Toronto, Ontario
The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention, the world's leading event for mineral exploration and mining.
Event details ↗George R. Brown Convention Center · Houston, Texas
The International Meeting for Applied Geoscience & Energy, hosted by SEG and AAPG, bringing together geophysics and geoscience across the energy and resource sectors.
Event details ↗Drones fill the gap between walking a grid and chartering an aircraft. They cover steep, wet, brushy or hazardous ground in a fraction of the time, and our airborne program management scales the same approach to whole districts.
UAV-borne magnetometer surveys.
Electromagnetic and radar sensors in the air.
Grounded transmitter, drone-borne receiver.
Terrain models and orthomosaics.
Helicopter and fixed-wing regional surveys.
Finding lost wells with drone magnetics.
Dig deeper →
Mapping aquifers from a single well site to an entire basin.
Dig deeper →
Subsurface conditions for infrastructure and construction.
Dig deeper →Route, depth of cover and ground conditions along pipelines.
Dig deeper →From siting one water well to targeting a district-scale drill program, we match the method to the question.
Each method responds to a different physical property: magnetism, conductivity, density, seismic velocity or radar reflectivity. We design surveys around what contrasts with your target, and often combine methods to remove ambiguity.
We are scheduling drone magnetic surveys for well location, UXO screening and exploration projects. Contact us to discuss timing and coverage.
Rockpile Geophysics will be at the AEMA Annual Meeting in Sparks, PDAC 2027 in Toronto and SEG/AAPG IMAGE 2027 in Houston. Reach out to set up a meeting.
