Where

SciWave Volt

Finds wet ground below the surface

ERT

Resistivity

Inject current; place electrodes freely, not only in a straight line.

E-map

Electric field map

Many points, referenced to one magnetic station (concept).

Self-potential

Track water flow without injecting current, with non-polarizing electrodes.

Seis and Volt live on the desks

3D view of the SciWave × Mahidol booth: field mural on the centre wall, two desks with live dashboards, Seis nodes and a sand tank

Try it at the desks

Seis: jump next to the node and watch the live spectrum respond.
Volt: drip water into the sand tank and see the wet patch appear on screen.
