Abstract/Summary

The aim of processing and subsequent visualization of magnetometer data,is to provide both the specialist and non-specialist with a dataset that can inform decision making and subsequent risk management, in a sensible and appropriate way. Magnetometer data is complex, and requires careful processing and thoughtful visualization to transform it from a stream of measured values, into a clear, interpretable dataset. Key generic processing routines are introduced which deal with noise reduction and enhancement of magnetic anomalies, to improve the visual appearance and positioning of data. Common visualization approaches of processed data are also highlighted.
