First Geophysical Campaign
This first two-day campaign took place in a selected area on the surface around the Valdemar Well and involved the following geophysical methods:
- seismic 2D (using geophones),
- georadar (with 2 antennas working in 100 MHz),
- and photogrammetry (using a drone).
The photographic record was made by Vanessa Pais, geologist of the Living Science Center of Lousal.
