{{Main|Remote sensing}}
[[Exploration geophysics]] is a branch of applied geophysics that involves the development and utilization of different seismic or electromagnetic methods which the aim of investigating different energy, mineral and water resources.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Energy Geosciences |url=https://www.jsg.utexas.edu/research/themes/energy-geosciences/ |access-date=2024-02-18 |website=Jackson School of Geosciences |language=en}}</ref> This is done through the uses of various [[remote sensing]] platforms such as; [[satellite]]s, [[aircraft]], [[boat]]s, [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|drones]], [[borehole]] sensing equipment and [[Seismic source|seismic receivers]]. These equipment are often used in conjunction with different geophysical methods such as [[Magnetism|magnetic]], [[gravimetry]], [[Electromagnetism|electromagnetic]], [[Radiometry|radiometric]], [[Barometer|barometry]] methods in order to gather the data. The remote sensing platforms used in exploration geophysics are not perfect and need adjustments done on them in order to accurately account for the effects that the platform itself may have on the collected data. For example, when gathering [[Aeromagnetic survey|aeromagnetic]] data (aircraft gathered magnetic data) using a conventional fixed-wing aircraft- the platform has to be adjusted to account for the electromagnetic currents that it may generate as it passes through [[Earth's magnetic field]].<ref name="Telford" /> There are also corrections related to changes in measured potential field intensity as the Earth rotates, as the Earth orbits the Sun, and as the moon orbits the Earth.<ref name="Telford" /><ref name=Reynolds>{{harvnb|Reynolds|2011}}</ref>
