Pioneering Airborne Geophysics Since 2004

We introduced modern airborne groundwater exploration. Today, we set the global standard.

Proven safety,

unmatched experience

Over 2 million line kilometers flown by helicopter.

Where innovation began innovation began

SkyTEM was founded in 2004 as a spin-out from Aarhus University, Denmark, following a scientific breakthrough in airborne electromagnetic (AEM) technology for groundwater mapping.

Developed in close collaboration with geophysicists and hydrologists, this method made it possible to visualize subsurface structures with unprecedented accuracy - without disturbing the ground.

SkyTEM became the global leader over the past two decades. That same spirit of innovation has guided the growth. From the world’s first dual-moment AEM system to today’s next-generation platforms, we continue to advance how the subsurface is mapped, understood, and managed.
