Gradiometry is a multidisciplinary area that combines theoretical and applied physics, ultra-low noise electronics, precision engineering, and advanced signal processing. Applications include the search for oil, gas, and mineral resources, GPS-free navigation, defence, space missions, and medical research. This book provides readers with a comprehensive and updated overview of the history, applications, and current developments in relation to some of the most advanced technologies in the 21st Century, especially regarding future challenges in natural resource exploration in the changing energy supply environment and a post COVID world.
