During 2007 and 2008 and under the Commonwealth's Onshore Energy Security Initiative, Geoscience Australia acquired AEM data over the Paterson Province of WA. The main purpose of the survey was to provide additional geophysical/geological context for unconformity and palaeochannel style uranium mineral systems and therebye promote related exploration. The survey data will also provide information on depth to basement, which is of general interest to explorers, and will be used as an input into a ground water evaluation of the region.

The dataset includes the final processed TEMPEST AEM window data and conductivity predictions produced by EmFlow conductivity depth transforms. The AEM survey data include point located and gridded datasets, and the survey acquisition and processing report prepared by the survey contractor Fugro Airborne Surveys.

The point located data are stored in ASCII files (.asc) formatted with space-delimited columns with an associated comprehensive header (.hdr) file which describes the data and the numeric format of each column in the file. Each record represents one sample along a flight line. The gridded data are stored as ErMapper binary raster grid files. The report is stored in Portable Document Format (.pdf). The whole dataset is stored ZIP files.

Data quality

Lineage:

The AEM survey data were acquired and processed by the airborne geophysical survey contractors Fugro Airborne Surveys. Details on the acquisition and processing are available in Lawrence and Stenning (2009), which is included in the dataset.

References:

Lawrence, M., Stenning, L., 2009. Paterson North airborne electromagnetic mapping survey acquisition and processing report. Unpublished Fugro Airborne Surveys report to Geoscience Australia.

Positional accuracy:

Positioning was via post-processed differential GPS methods. Horizontal positional accuracy of the data is approximately 1 metre (standard deviation).

Attribute accuracy:

The data have been acquired and processed to a standard of best practice as of the year 2008. More sophisticated processing algorithms may be applied to these data should they become available.

Logical Consistency:

Not applicable.

Completeness:

The dataset includes all final data and products created by the survey contractor Fugro Airborne Surveys.
