Following the success of the preliminary MT fieldwork, researchers from DIAS traveled back to Mallow to test other sites around Mallow off profile and to reoccupy existing sites.
They also deployed 3 new nodal arrays consisting of 11 instruments each around Mallow to determine noise sources, including west of Mallow train station. The fieldwork takes a few days for seismic with a return several days after deployment to gather the data. In contrast the MT fieldwork takes a bit longer as the equipment needs to be buried in trenches and has a lot more components!
These new arrays are being used to design the large scale survey which will occur later in the year
We should all be out in spring/summer 2022 to collect the large datasets for the DIG project. Let’s hope for weather as good as this trip!
