Airborne Geophysical Survey of Southern Stevenson Ridge, Yukon, 2008

A quantitative gamma-ray spectrometric and aeromagnetic helicopter-borne geophysical survey was completed by Fugro Airborne Surveys. The survey was flown from September 10 to October 14, 2008, over the Southern Stevenson Ridge area in Yukon. The nominal traverse and control line spacings were 400m and 2400m respectively, with a nominal terrain clearance of 125m.

Use Cases

• Mineral exploration targeting based on gamma-ray spectrometric and aeromagnetic anomalies.
• Geological mapping and structural interpretation based on airborne magnetic data.
• Environmental baseline studies using natural gamma radiation measurements.
• Validating and integrating regional geological models with high-resolution airborne data.

Strengths

• Survey conducted by a professional geophysical contractor, Fugro Airborne Surveys.
• Specific flight parameters are documented, including line spacings of 400m/2400m and a terrain clearance of 125m.
• Precise temporal coverage from September 10 to October 14, 2008.

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/temporal bias inherent to the specific survey area and time.
