AusAEM, Western Resources Corridor, Airborne Electromagnetic Survey Blocks. TEMPEST airborne electromagnetic data and GALEI conductivity estimates
<div>AusAEM Western Resources Corridor Survey: Logistics Report, AEM Data, and GALEI conductivity estimates.</div><div><br></div><div>From May to October 2022, an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey was flown over parts of Western Australia, Northern Territory and South Australia. Geoscience Australia commissioned the survey in collaboration with the Geological Surveys of Western Australia (GSWA) and South Australia (GSSA) as part of the Australian Government's Exploring for the Future program and the Western Australian Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme.</div><div><br></div><div>A total of 58,858 line kilometres of new data were acquired. GA managed all aspects of the acquisition, quality control and processing of the AEM data.</div><div><br></div><div>The survey was flown by Xcalibur Aviation (Australia) Pty Ltd using its TEMPEST AEM system. The survey was flown in variable line directions and line spacings ranging from 20km to 5km apart. Skytem Australia Pty Ltd also processed the data. This data package includes the acquisition and processing report, the final processed AEM data, and the results of the contractor's conductivity-depth estimates. The data package also contains the results and derived products from a 1D inversion by Geoscience Australia with its own inversion software.</div><div><br></div><div>Geoscience Australia's Exploring for the Future program provides pre-competitive information to inform decision-making by Government, community and industry on the sustainable development of Australia's mineral, energy and groundwater resources. We are building a national picture of Australia's geology and resource potential by gathering, analysing and interpreting new and existing precompetitive geoscience data and knowledge. This leads to a strong economy, resilient society and sustainable environment for the benefit of all Australians. This includes supporting Australia's transition to a low emissions economy, strong resources and agriculture sectors, and economic opportunities and social benefits for Australia's regional and remote communities. The Exploring for the Future program, which commenced in 2016, is an eight-year, $225m investment by the Australian Government.</div><div><br></div><div>The survey will become part of the national AusAEM airborne electromagnetic acquisition program, which aims to provide geophysical information to support investigations of the regional geology and groundwater system and better characterise the salinity, recharge and architecture of the aquifers within the upper few hundred metres of the subsurface. It will also provide data to allow for the study of trends in regolith thickness and variability, variations in bedrock conductivity, the conductivity of key bedrock (lithology-related) conductive units under cover; and (d) the groundwater systems of the region at a reconnaissance scale.</div>
