Applications
Determine the Extent of Subsurface Contamination
Help stakeholders clearly understand the full extent of subsurface contamination. Whether your investigation data was collected by ground penetrating radar, electromagnetic sensing, or monitoring wells, Surfer provides the tools to transform the data into an understandable visual. Interpolate the data using industry standard methods such as Kriging, and then use Surfer’s suite of analysis tools to perform a wide range of mathematical functions on the data. Surfer helps you provide actionable insight on the release, movement, and recoverability of the plume.
Build Groundwater Models
Whether you are looking to generate a potentiometric surface, or determine the supply of a water source, Surfer offers mapping functionality to visualize any hydrology variable you need. Trusted by groundwater professionals for over 35 years, Surfer can help you build a robust groundwater model no matter the complexity of your site.
Create Report Quality Figures
You have full control of the final output with Surfer’s extensive customization options. Adjust map properties exactly to your liking to ensure your final report makes an immediate impression on clients and provides a full understanding of the site. Surfer also supports a wide range of export file formats so you can communicate with stakeholders in their preferred medium.
Bring Data to Life with 3D Visualizations
Facilitate A-HA moments for your clients with Surfer's 3D view. In true three-dimensional space, show clients the exact location of a contamination leak or where a well meets the water table. You may not always give your client the answer they want, but you will help them understand what’s going on, no matter their background.
Real World Results
Model Subsurface Contamination
Cascade Imaging, a long-time Golden Software customer, uses Surfer to instantly transform electromagnetic data collected on-site into easily understood contamination maps. These maps are used by clients while walking the project location.
Monitor Hazardous Material Risk Over Time
The Firat University Nuclear Physics Division uses Surfer to create animated simulations of hazardous radioactive fallout over time. This near real-time data helps address the risk of radioactivity exposure in the aftermath of a hazardous event.
Determine the Vulnerability of Municipal Groundwater Systems
Richelieu Hydrogeologie Inc. uses Surfer to generate multiple maps for their DRASTIC modeling reports. With Surfer, they overlay and multiply multiple groundwater and contaminant layers in the same map frame to assess the vulnerability of municipal groundwater sources.
