ODESSA -- A Texas A&M student will be in the Basin for the next few weeks, doing research on the meteor crater in Odessa.
Mark Hickey is a geophysics major at Texas A&M University, and he'll be using exploration equipment to detect electrical conductivity in the earth at different points.
"I take this data, or any data using the same technique, and I plug it into the program and it spits out a 3-D image of what is below the surface," Hickey told Big 2.
These same techniques can also be used for finding water, contamination plumes and more.
