Aeromagnetic Survey First Vertical Derivative, Dawson Area Yukon

Yukon, Canada's Dawson area was surveyed aeromagnetically from February 17 to March 21, 2014. The survey was conducted by Goldak Airborne Surveys using two aircraft equipped with cesium vapour magnetometers. Data collection parameters included a nominal terrain clearance of 125 meters and traverse line spacings of 400 meters.

Use Cases

• Map subsurface geological structures based on processed magnetic field gradients.
• Support mineral exploration targeting based on magnetic anomaly patterns.
• Integrate with other geospatial data for regional geological interpretation.

Strengths

• Survey conducted over a defined period from February 17 to March 21, 2014.
• Specific collection parameters are documented, including 125 m terrain clearance and 400 m traverse line spacing.
• Data is provided by a government source (Government of Yukon).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the specific survey area.
