A high definition 3D live surveying system (Quantum Magnetic Field Surveyor) project from Northwestern Polytechnical University has taken first place at the 2018 National Varsity "Eco-Innovation · Green Action" Competition which was hosted by Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment and Development and Friends of Nature.
The project gathers geological information at the sub-surface and sub-sea levels without the use of explosives that would harm the environment.
