The Southern African Geophysical Association (SAGA) featured an insightful Monthly Talk focusing on advancements in magnetic gradiometry and its applications in geophysical exploration.

Presented by Hernan Ugalde and Anre Vorster, the session explored full tensor magnetic gradiometry, examining what is being measured and how it compares with traditional scalar total magnetic intensity measurements.

The discussion also highlighted advancements in SQUID and UAV-based magnetic gradiometer systems, with particular attention to their applications in diamond exploration.

This technical session reflected SAGA’s ongoing commitment to knowledge sharing, technological innovation, and professional development within the geophysical community.
