In permafrost landscapes, the ground remains mostly frozen throughout the year and liquid groundwater only occurs in certain locations or during anomalously warm periods. Understanding the spatial and temporal distribution of groundwater in these environments is extremely important as it can affect processes ranging from geotechnical soil stability to the release of greenhouse gases. In […]
The National Centre for Groundwater Research and Training in Adelaide, Australia has joined with Vista Clara Inc. to deliver a three-day, hands-on workshop focused on the application of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technologies for groundwater investigations. The course will be led by Dr David Walsh, President of Vista Clara Inc. and a leading developer of […]
Vista Clara Inc., a global leader in geophysical nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology, is pleased to announce the launch of Vista Clara Geotech Ltd., a new Canadian company based in Surrey, British Columbia. Vista Clara Geotech Ltd. will manufacture magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments for geoscience applications and provide instrument sales, rentals, and customer service to […]
In recent years, Orsted and the Technical University (DTU) have performed laboratory research to use in-situ magnetic resonance measurements to further improve investigation of the key parameters that are known to drive seabed foundation engineering, including measuring soil strength, stiffness, density, and stratigraphy. In May 2025, Vista Clara president Dave Walsh introduced the new Harpoon® […]
Vista Clara, the leader in Magnetic Resonance (MR) technology for subsurface characterization, brings to the market Harpoon®, the world’s first integration of magnetic resonance measurements into a cone penetrometer (CPT) test tool. Harpoon® can be operated both offshore and on land to deliver real-time, continuous, high-resolution, in-situ data on both geotechnical and hydrogeological properties of […]
The main goal of this recent field study was to compare NMR-measured hydrogeologic results obtained using different high-resolution NMR tools. The NMR investigation was conducted at Ebey Island, WA. This site is in the Snohomish River estuary near Everett, WA, USA. The site is associated with a very shallow water table and a network of […]
Maximum temperature and pressure ratings for Javelin and Dart tools have been established through rigorous, instrumented physical testing, and our published temperature and pressure ratings are based on conservative interpretations of all available data. This rigorous and conservative approach ensures reliable and stable system operation and performance throughout the expected operating environments. In 2025, Vista […]
