AusAEM 02 WA/NT 2019-20 Airborne Electromagnetic Survey
AusAEM 02 Airborne Electromagnetic Survey, NT /WA, 2019-2020: TEMPEST® AEM data and conductivity estimates
The accompanying data package, titled “AusAEM 02 WA/NT, 2019-20 Airborne Electromagnetic Survey: TEMPEST® airborne electromagnetic data and conductivity estimates”, was released on 10 August 2020 by Geoscience Australia (GA), the Geological Survey of Western Australia and the Northern Territory Geological Survey.
The package contains processed data from the“AusAEM 02 WA/NT, 2019-20 Airborne Electromagnetic Survey" that was flown over the North-West part of the Northern Territory across the border and all the way to the coast into Western Australia. The regional survey was flown at a 20-kilometre nominal line spacing and entailed approximately 55,675 line kilometres of geophysical data. The survey was flown in two tranches during 2019, by CGG Aviation (Australia) Pty. Ltd. under contract to Geoscience Australia, using the TEMPEST® airborne electromagnetic system. CGG also processed the data.
The survey also includes a further 6,450 line kilometres of infill flying that was funded by private exploration companies, acquired in certain blocks within the survey area. The data from these infill blocks have been processed in the same manner as the regional lines and are part of this release.
Geoscience Australia commissioned the AusAEM 02 survey as part of the Exploring for the Future (EFTF) program, flown over parts of the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Geoscience Australia (GA) leads the EFTF program, in collaboration with the State and Territory Geological Surveys of Australia. The program is designed to investigate the potential mineral, energy and groundwater resources of Australia driving the next generation of resource discoveries.
GA managed the survey data acquisition, processing, contract, the quality control of the survey and generating two of the three inversion products included in the data package.
