THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
Suitability depends on the site and the investigation objective. Background interference and the characteristics of the objects of interest affect the value of the results.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
A survey proposal explains how magnetic interference could limit interpretation in a developed area.
A useful distinction
Magnetometry does not establish that every detected response is UXO, nor that every hazardous item will be detected.
Questions to ask when it appears in a scope
- What area, activity and decision does this term refer to?
- What evidence or output will the project team receive?
- What limitations need to be carried into the next stage?
