Yukon Aeromagnetic Survey Maps for NTS 115O, 2016-2017

Yukon magnetic data reprocessed between November 2016 and March 2017. The dataset contains compiled and merged aeromagnetic data, with individually levelled images produced for each 250k-scale map sheet. It includes four derivative magnetic maps provided as PDFs, GeoTIFFs, and Geosoft grid files by the Government of Yukon.

Use Cases

• Mineral exploration targeting based on magnetic derivative maps like Reduced-to-Pole (RTP).
• Geological structure interpretation using the First Vertical Derivative (RTP_VD) and Tilt Derivative (RTP_TDR) maps.
• Regional geophysical mapping and analysis based on the compiled aeromagnetic data.
• Integrating magnetic data with other geospatial layers for resource assessment.

Strengths

• Includes four specific processed magnetic derivative products (Residual Total Magnetic Field, RTP, RTP_VD, RTP_TDR).
• Data is provided in three standard geospatial formats (PDF, GeoTIFF, Geosoft grid).
• Reprocessing work was conducted during a defined period from November 2016 to March 2017.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
