Absolute Gravity Networks
Build the foundation for everything else
Absolute gravity stations and networks are critical infrastructure that provide baseline data for accurate gravity surveys, underpinning everything from mineral exploration and groundwater monitoring to geohazard detection and infrastructure planning. Nomad Atomics offers a first-of-its-kind service to establish, upgrade, and support these networks using our compact, quantum absolute gravimeters.
Designed for remote deployment and long-term stability, our technology removes the barriers of cost, fragility, and complexity - bringing gravity networks within reach for regions worldwide.
Carbon Storage Monitoring and Verification
Prove permanence to build trust
Reliable, high-resolution monitoring of CO₂ plume growth and migration is essential for verifying containment, detecting potential leaks early, and ensuring the long-term success of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. Time-lapse gravity surveys provide a powerful, direct method for tracking mass movement in the subsurface, offering clear insights into the behaviour of injected CO₂ over time. Our technology has the potential to deliver precise and scalable subsurface visualisation, enabling cost-effective, continuous monitoring that safeguards the integrity of CCS operations, supports regulatory compliance, and builds trust with stakeholders.
Groundwater Monitoring
Non-invasive sensing for sustainable resource use
Understanding groundwater movement is essential for sustainable water management, particularly in regions challenged by drought, contamination, or over-extraction. Timelapse gravity sensing provides a direct, non-invasive method to detect changes in underground water mass over time, such as water levels, recharge rates, and overall availability.
Our service aims to deliver precise groundwater recharge assessments to support data-driven decision-making and protect water security, reduce overuse, and manage environmental risks more effectively.
Leak Detection in Water Utilities
Stay ahead of pipe failure - know before it shows
Non-surfacing leaks in buried water mains are a major cause of long-term water loss, infrastructure degradation, and costly disruptions for utilities around the world. Nomad Atomics' gravity surveys detect subtle changes in mass associated with accumulating water, offering a non-invasive solution for identifying background leaks and helping utilities reduce water loss and protect critical infrastructure before failures occur.
Off-World Resource Exploration
Redefining planetary gravity science
Gravimetry is a critical tool for subsurface resource exploration on Earth and will play an equally vital role in planetary missions. Nomad Atomics’ technology is designed for adaptability and can be modified as a gravity sensing payload for multi-sensor platforms used in space exploration.
With low size, weight, and power requirements, as well as simplified deployment and real-time data acquisition capabilities, our system is well-suited to meet the demands of remote sensing in off-world environments.
Drone-Assisted Gravity Surveying
Faster, cheaper gravity surveys
Nomad Atomics is pioneering drone-assisted gravity surveys, enabling faster, safer, and more sustainable access to high-resolution gravity data. Our drone mounted gravimeter will reduce operational costs, shorten survey timelines, and eliminate the need for extensive ground access. Ideal for rugged or remote terrain, drone-based surveys will minimise environmental impact while improving safety and efficiency, unlocking new opportunities for mineral exploration and other subsurface industries.
