Magnetotelluric survey data acquired in association with the L192 Georgina-Arunta Deep Crustal Seismic Survey. This survey was funded through the Onshore Energy Security Program using the Auscope equipment form the ANSIR pool. The aim of the survey was to produce a two-dimensional image of electrical conductivity structure of the crust and upper mantle over the western Georgina Basin and the Arunta region of the Northern Territory. This information is complementary to the reflection seismic and gravity data acquired along the 09GA-GA1 traverse.

Data are supplied as EDI files with support information and models.

Data quality

Lineage:

These data were acquired using Bartington 3-axis fluxgate sensors for long-period measurements and KMS LIC-120 land induction coil magnetometers for broadband measurements. Data were recorded on PR 6-24 Portable Earth Data recorders with GPS timing synchronisation. This equipment was supplied by AuScope.

Data was processed in Geoscience Australia to EDI files and modeled using WingLink software.

Positional accuracy:

Calculated location from GPS measurements acurate to less than 25 metres
