Geologists in Texas have found a new use for the bicycle. By attaching global
positioning systems and a caesium vapour magnetometer to a mountain bike,
researchers at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio have found a way
to take geomagnetic mapping readings while on the move. As the cyclist takes in
the view, the bike takes up to ten readings per second, revealing faults hidden
beneath the sediment.
